About Me

Introduction: I tell stories - in words, sound and music, print, video, pictures, theatre, over coffee... and move seasonally between the Rocky Mountains (Banff, Alberta), Berlin and Vancouver.
Recording projects are usually in collaboration with Gudrun Gut (Berlin). We have released three albums together - Miasma, Miasma2, Miasma3. All tracks are on itunes and other MP3 sites. For Cds, in Europe, order from www.m-enterprise.de/shop and in The USA, from www.hrmusic.com listed under Avant Garde.)
Gudrun and I have two new releases coming up: GIRL SUITE EP this summer, on line release only, and GIRLS & CITIES CD in the Fall. The CD includes tracks with Berlin friends, Beate Bartel and with Alex Hacke and Danielle de Piciotto.
GIRL SUITE is 4 tracks by Gudrun and me pertaining to girl culture - including "My Friend Sherry" - pseudo early Sixties pop about how it was when abortion was illegal. In the US there's a scary campaign to criminalize abortion again. This seriously annoys me, perhaps because my best friend when I was 15, died of an illegal abortion. We made a relatively palatable pop song on this nasty topic. It's a wake-up call.
Video: 'Alberta Ride of the Valkyrie' (4:16). David Hauka (Vancouver) and I made this Bravo!Fact short with nine fabulous Alberta girls and their horses. Shot at Roxbury Showjumping Stables near Okatoks, Alberta, the music is Gudrun's re-mix of Wagner and my lyrics about girls and horses. Pics from the shoot in my slide show here. The track is titled 'Valkyrie' on THE GIRL SUITE EP.
