Part of the Philly Fringe Festival 2013

I was invited this year to be part of an artistic, electronic percussion performance by the ensemble (So) Percussion. I worked on cellos for their large scale -"to be seen in the back row " so to speak.....working on new making and older instruments

It was exciting to be surrounded by such vibrant, exotic sounds pulsing at decibels even Beethoven couldn't match!....all the while I worked steadily (and as rhythmically)I could. It was great fun to bring my work self out on a stage and I was really enjoying the stark contrast between my quiet, slow, timeless, precious way of working and the music that I serve - and the loud, pulsing, brash, in-the-moment, and oh-so-electronic way they went about their work.

A great experience
