Comments
Guitar was one of my first loves...I still play every now and then, but my main instrument became the piano. A lot of my creative ideas happen on the guitar, still. I love to play it in unusual ways. I enjoy working with other composers of new modern music (all styles). I have started a new concert venue in New Haven called "New Haven Works" for new music. I think that now I have become somewhat of a studio-mole...so I'm trying to come-out and squint in the public-light...no sunscreen...
