Fadeaways - August 2022
This is a compilation of cello improvisations recorded from March through August 2022. They each have an accompanying video that can be found on my YouTube channel. I originally created these for a series I titled "Five Minute Fadeaways", videos intended to quiet the mind and allow the listener space to relax for a few moments.
Trinitrotoluene - Planchette & Pink Tomb, March 2021
Recorded inside a forested concrete bunker. Acoustic cello, hammered dulcimer, and mbira. No effects used.
