So, yeah. All the best intentions. I suppose I was so sick of my office from remote teaching that I decided that I didn’t need to spend any more time in it. I’ve also become the music librarian for a local small regional symphony, and I feel like I have done nothing but compile, stuff… Continue reading Busy Summer, but not in the ways I thought it was going to be…

Being AWOL
I know I haven’t been around for a bit. Life has been busy yada yada. I don’t like excuses, but lets just say I’ve been struggling mentally a bit and didn’t feel like doing much of anything but work that had to be done. That means school, and music librarian work and thats about it,… Continue reading Being AWOL
Trapped in Spring
I’m feeling a bit trapped in spring. Maybe its my allergies, maybe its the fact that the school year is a bit long in the tooth at the moment and needs to be done, but here is my next installment of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Violin concertos remixed. 1st Movement this time, and while it isn’t… Continue reading Trapped in Spring
disquiet 0484- A Movable Heart

One problem, they made production changes that didn’t… Continue reading Knowing Ableton Comes in Handy…
Bratsche Bach the Gap
So upon sleeping on it (or not because the wind was crazy, which made the cats crazy and kept me up all night) And re-reading the instructions for this weeks disquiet junto (0482 Exactly that Gap), I decided I could easily do this. While driving to my parents for our weekly dinner and chat, I… Continue reading Bratsche Bach the Gap
Spring, Rethought
Currently we are getting a spring storm here in the Cincinnati, OH area, and as a part of my season remixes during the current season, I started with Vivaldi’s Spring Concerto (Op.8 No.1) 2nd Mvt. Here is my description: The march of time never quite ceases. This remix and modern take on Vivaldi’s Spring Violin… Continue reading Spring, Rethought
First Disquiet Project
I have wanted to participate in the Disquiet Junto for a long time, but again many things prevented me (mostly computer hardware) from fully realizing this goal. This week’s topic spoke to me, and more details on the topic can be found here: Disquiet0481 I love the sarabande from the 2nd Cello Suite by Bach… Continue reading First Disquiet Project
WELCOME
Welcome to my grand experiment. Can I keep a blog? Can I produce music that I want to produce? Can I keep up with my podcast Music for Teens? Can I participate in the Disquiet Junto? Will anyone read my musings and rantings? Will anyone listen to my music? I am a classically trained violist… Continue reading WELCOME
