Artist History I've been composing unwittingly for about 10 years now, and recently made the decision to admit it. Coming out of the closet as a composer has been a gas, and now, watch out. Lesson: be careful what you wish for, you most surely will get it in spades. What you hear is a combination of electronic processing and instruments (violin, mandolin, theremin, guitar, drum machines, found sounds, computer-generated samples) which combine to form my compositional "instrument" of choice. Also, where indicated, you will hear wonderful collaborations w/other favorite artists and friends.

Group Members current collaborations include: Martin Bauer, Sami Abadi, Ethel, Dean Sharp.

Instruments Violins, (electric and acoustic, six, five, and four strings), Mandolin, guitar, theremin, hadjira, hand percussion, G3 Laptop

Press Reviews Well, years ago the San Francisco Chronicle called me "electrifying" when i wasn't even plugged in, and the New York Times has mentioned my "committed and explosive energy" -- Dangerous sounding... i'm really not out to wreck anything...
