ALBUM OF SOLO VIOLIN WORKS

Recorded with cmntx records

This album is a love-letter to the violin. For me, these “monologues” for the instrument trace the inner world of a person striving to remain sensitive, unjaded, and connected to themselves and others within an increasingly chaotic and oversaturated world. It also represents a vibrant collection of works that I feel a deep personal connection to, with most works on the album being written by friends and deeply admired collaborators - Elizabeth Gartman, Darian Donovan Thomas, William Bolles-Beaven, Christian Frederic-Bloquert, Luis McDougal, Kylan Hillman, Anuj Bhutani. The album also includes a work by myself, and two reimagined older works that I believe demand a renewed interpretation for our time. Many selections on the album carve out an oasis for the listener and performer to reflect on topics for which public discourse is often stigmatized or fraught with external pressures, wherein they can more deeply connect with the emotions these topics bring, without the noise of the external world.
