I am a cellist, improvisor and composer. I have experience performing diverse genres of music including electroacoustic, though I primarily I consider myself to be a classical cellist, composer and improviser.  I am interested in discovering new extended techniques on acoustic cello. I first discovered new bow harmonics and recorded compositions using them early in my career. My research into extended techniques on cello has continued recently and I discovered a new sound using a variation of an extended technique. This year I have been composing and improvising at UW and working with and learning from Huck Hodge. This Spring I will present the newly discovered sound via a performance of an aleatory composition for solo cello, including improvisatory elements, which will feature a new sound created by an extended technique I recently discovered on acoustic cello. The new sounds I have been discovering are akin to quantum particles: already present within the sound, yet normally hidden by standard classical technique. It is my intention to broaden the palette of colors for classical cello technique and repertoire.
