on a plane from denver to boston…coming from a concert at UC denver with the great big piano trio, our debut, and on my way to a jim brickman show in worcester, MA. the GBPT is myself and phil aaberg, piano, and eugene friesen cello. we just finished our CD called "3 part invention". the show went very well last night with a lot of various artists from the UCross arts retreat in attendance. (the GBPT was born in UCross 2 years ago.) the CD is our reinterpretations of some works of bach. it will be printed up soon and will be available to purchase on this site within the next month or so. it's definitely not for purists—we go everywhere from brazil to new orleans for our inspiration, but it's all works by j.s.bach and it''s all acoustic, which is something I haven't done in a long time. so I have my acoustic violin, my acoustic 6-string viola and my electric 6-string... |  | |

The new CD is finally here. All those who preordered through this site should already have their copy. If you haven't received it, please let me know. The original album artwork was done by Brad Talbott.
The recording of the new Eclectica CD was a true product of
improvisation. We
recorded 2 jam sessions and from those sessions culled the
best ideas and organized them into songs. Then, in one afternoon at Oceanway Studio in Nashville, we recorded the basic tracks of 6
tunes. Next those takes (about 3 for each song) were edited and then
lyrics written and vocals recorded.
Let me know what you think. email/myspace/facebook me.

As you check out my new site you'll see a couple of new ArtistShare terms: Project Experience & Participant Offer.
The Project Experience is my current project, in this case the recording of my new Eclectica CD. (Eclectica is my band.) It includes all the behind-the-scenes and making-of-the-CD stuff, but not the actual CD. The current Project Experience comes free with all the Participant Offers.
There are a variety of Participant Offers available for sale. These include the upcoming Eclectica CD, my recent "I'd Rather Be Dreaming" CD, a Live Concert, online Violin Lessons and Composition Lessons and other opportunities for you to share not only my musical product but my musical process as well. You get outtakes, exclusive diaries, interviews, pdf's of musical sketches, rehearsal clips--all kinds of goodies you can't get just by buying a CD.
The Bronze, Silver and Gold levels are for generous supporters of my music who help me fund the recording of the new CD, (which allows me to retain creative control of my music.) These levels include all the items of other offers as well as other exclusive and valuable items.
