Here's the video to my latest album, Pele's Fire – A Volcanic Symphony for Peace. Filmed by Tim Freeman, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Hawai’i Hilo. What an adventure, composing live on the edge of a volcano 🌋 #volcano #eruption #kilauea #ambient #electricviolin #peace

As an electric violinist, I’ve always been chasing the perfect sound. I never liked the super compressed flat/sterile “electric violin” sound, but I enjoy the benefits of not running into feedback issues on large/loud stages. I’m currently reworking my pedalboard. Check out my Substack!

My work is inspired by Steve Reich, Brian Eno, and Philip Glass, to name only three of the many great minimal composers. I just found out Brian Eno will drop his new album the same day my new ambient work will be released. What a very cool coincidence 🌋

R.I.P. Roy Bucks. He connected me with the Paniolo music scene on Hawai’i Island. And he always made me wear his shirts and hats 😄 Many fun memories! A fabulous bass player and singer, and true gem in the local music scene. My dear fellow NS Design player, be well and be happy. Mahalo Nui Loa 🤙🌅
