I am experienced in multiple performance styles:
- Styles from all eras of Classical (including historically informed Baroque and prior period performance), to Celtic, country (bluegrass, old timey, etc), to jazz, rock, hip-hop, new age, ambient, and more!
- Performance in concert as a soloist, chamber musician, recording artist, orchestra member, improviser with a band, etc.
- I can improvise and read sheet music.
One of my most favorite things to do with my instruments and friends is go into a studio and lay down some tracks for a recording!
I have had the opportunity to play violin, viola, and/or electric violin for a huge variety of recording situations:
- Album tracks
- Film scores (even laying down some tracks with an orchestra for a film at Sony Pictures Studios) 😉
- with written down sheet music
- or, with nothing but my improvising skills
- playing solo, with a chamber group, or with a large orchestra
- sometimes I’ve had to over-dub myself on multiple parts, and with both my violin and viola.

What I Can Do for You:
- Play on violin, viola, or 6-string electric violin for your session(s). I can sight read music and improvise in numerous styles.
- Contract other instruments to play for your session(s).
- Record tracks for you on my home equipment and email you the raw tracks to use as you like.
- Anything I record for you remains under all of your original copyrights, UNLESS we are recording something I’ve composed for you:
- Distribution and broadcast rights for recording a custom composition for you are negotiated on a per-project basis.
- Typically, for a track, EP, or album, I will maintain all rights on the composition itself, as well as distribution rights for the master. However, you will also have either non-exclusive or exclusive rights for distribution for a certain period of time.
- For film scores (not stand-alone works or songs), I will typically grant most or all rights of distribution, broadcast, and ownership of the music, so that it remains a part of the film to which it is attached.
- Distribution and broadcast rights for recording a custom composition for you are negotiated on a per-project basis.
- Naturally, I’m entirely negotiable and happy to try and work within your available budget!
