Recordings
Two new recording projects are online on Bandcamp! And there's a new video out as well as an interview on Classical Post.
Solo Project: West Virginia, My Home
This project started out of an interest in combining storytelling, Appalachian-inspired compositions, and old ballads. It's grown into a project that has commissioned compositions from exciting new composers such as Annika Socolofsky, Jacob Sandridge, Nathan Thatcher, Matthew Browne, Ben Morris, Nadine Dyskant-Miller, Christine Delphine Hedden, and Clay Gonzalez. More compositions (and recordings) are in the works!

Electro-acoustic Duo with Tiziano Teodori
|
In 2019, Tiziano and I started working together on a project incorporating folk music, storytelling, and electronics along with self-composed works. We are working on our first EP. We performed our first concert in unusual circumstances, thanks to the pandemic. The livestream for the UK-based concert series Blue Rinse is still up on YouTube.

Linen of Words
|
Recordings and concerts with my new group, Linen of Words, are coming soon. This collective consists of Leah Plave on cello, Michela Amici on harp, Julie Hasfjord on voice, and me on clarinet and double bass. We are interested in storytelling and collaborations with composers. In 2020, we performed pieces by Evan Premo and Rob Jones as well as pieces I'd written. We're currently workshopping pieces with Renan Zelada, Lauge Dideriksen, Leo Lehtinen, and Japanese calligrapher Lanka Abe.

Sweet Joe Pye
An old-time string band based in Den Haag, Sweet Joe Pye shares a mix of ballads and fiddle tunes hailing from the Appalachian mountains as well as original compositions. Sweet Joe Pye is a plant which grows all around the Appalachian region and reminds us of home. With unique arrangements and close harmony, we dust off songs from the past to be shared here and now.
