Tilted Axes at Gracie Mansion

In January 2014 I was invited along with the group Tilted Axes to perform on the grounds of Gracie Mansion. Mayor Bill de Blasio opened Gracie Mansion to the public to celebrate his inauguration. It was an icy day and walking the streets to the train that morning with my solid-body electric guitar and tiny Pignose amp was perilous. It was a beautiful day nonetheless.

Here is a writeup of the event at New York City in the Wit of an Eye.

Theme for a short film

Last spring I had the opportunity to collaborate with Christine Callahan on a short film called “Breaking the Ice”. Christine provided me with two video sequences. I composed a simple soundtrack based on the sequences. Christine then edited the film using the music to inspire the narrative. This was a new challenge for me and I was honored to be a part of it.

I hope to have another chance to collaborate with Christine in 2017.
