Filament is a collaborative work with two components. The first component is the Cello Filament, which you will find here. The second component is the Tapestry—a composition you are invited to weave around and with the Cello Filament.

The Tapestry can be created by composers, ensembles, dancers, actors, filmmakers, anyone, with whom I may or may not consult, know, or meet. An unlimited number of composers/co-creators can create the Tapestry.

The result is an unlimited number of musical conversations all containing the identical Cello Filament.

Fighting for First Light is an exposition of the moment an artist wakes up in the morning and the struggle/journey to protect and preserve our connection with a creative source that has chosen to speak to us.

In this work, the player listens to their own inner guidance and the artistic voice, while also incorporating notated passages—a process of receiving, integrating, generating, reflecting.
