esquisses - sketches. snapshots of images, emotions, episodes that I haven't the words or the artistic talent to capture. certainly far from perfect in composition or performance, but hopefully you get a glimpse of what could be
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
who would have guessed - I love performing. I have my first real show coming up on February 3rd!!
Your musical influences
sheerly classical background - inspiration by Mendelssohn, Bach, Ravel... I credit Danielle Chang with making me aware of that creative spark that gives life to music, and the musicians at the Journey with opening my eyes to the fact that it might exist in me
Anything else?
performance and composition - and now circulation - are constantly competing in me. some days I want to concentrate on musicianship, some days I just want to write and find someone else to do the hard work of playing it. and what's the good of writing or playing if you don't have an audience?
