My mission is to present
the emotion, poetry & heart of the violin alone.
‘Live in Outer Sunset’ is my live 2024 recording
of a monster program featuring solo sonatas from Prokofiev, Bartók, Ysaÿe, and Bacevicz.
It’s available for USD26 in mp3 or ogg format
(you get both if you want). Click

‘Eschaton’ is my first professional solo violin album featuring J.S. Bach and
Bartók. It’s available for USD25 in CD and
mp3s (you get both if you want). Just email me at ‘me’ at
this web domain for easy ordering details.
My debut self-titled album is out of print. It featured
solo violin works of Fritz Kreisler, and Eugène Ysaÿe. If
you really want it, the mp3s could be made available.
USD25. Just email me at ‘me’ at this
web domain for easy ordering details.
As well, I used some interesting Unix tools to put this fifty-one minute mix together
under my other alias, Yards of Lung. This album is a first for me and is titled ‘sox
ready.’ It can be downloaded/streamed, gratis, here.
About the instrument
I play exclusively on the Jan B. Špidlen Op. 77 violin, a modern instrument inspired by the ‘Plowden’ 1735 Guarneri, del Gesù.
Along with my fiddle, is my silver-mounted bow by David Samuels, which was made the exact same year as my fiddle (2011), and silver-mounted bow by Morgan Andersen, made in 2023. My practice bow is a fine silver-mounted tortoise-shell Hill bow by William Charles Retford in the early 20th century.
