About Me

I'm a freelance violinist/ composer/dj/general muso and sometimes chef. I graduated from the London School of Music in 2005, where i studied violin with the wonderful Susanne Stanzeleit and won a couple of prizes along the way (had to slip that it). I live in North London and i divide my time between playing with my various groups and doing shows like The Thursford Christmas spectacular ( i got to pay the bills) Chelinot, Oliver!, The Opera project and playing and recording for orchestras, bands and producers. I also wrote, played and recorded the soundtrack for Bye Bye Miss Goodnight, which premiered at The Portabello Film Festival in 2005. listen to my tracks to hear some of it. I find it hard to be pegged down to one particular area of music which i think is a positive thing. Too many musicians from either side of the classical/everything else divide tend to struggle outside their respective areas. i've always been happy to straddle both and i wouldn't want it any other way.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/18/2006
Band Members: The Cornelius Ensemble. This is the string quartet that i run. We do everything from Classical recitals, we did a series of concerts in London last Autumn, as well as recordingsessions, playing live with bands and of course good old wedding, corporate and funeral ( not often mind) gigs. We also arrange contempory stuff for string quartet and are currently writing our own material. New website coming soon........Then there's Chancery Blame and the Transcendentals, a bit of a mouthful but well worth the effort. Taking a contempory edge on classic gypsy music, fusing a bit of burlesque tongue in cheek with, at times, heart-stoppingly beautiful and at others, car crash fast, foot stomping Hungarian and russian fare. If you like violin virtuosi like Roby or Sandor Lakatos or the quirky energy of Kocani Orkestra, then you'll be partial to The Transcendentals.
