About Me

HELLO MY FRIENDS. THANKS FOR VISITING ME HERE. I HAVE JUST FINISHED MIXING AND MASTERING A NEW CD OF PREDOMINANTLY SCOTTISH FIDDLE MUSIC WITH A FEW TWISTS AND TURNS ALONG THE WAY. IT WILL BE A FOCUSED SOUND OF VIOLIN WITH PIANO (SUSIE PETROV) WITH GUEST ARTIST, PIPER DAN HOUGHTON OF EDINBURGH. IT'S BEEN A VERY EXCITING YEAR FOR ME. SPENDING THE SUMMER IN SCOTLAND AND ABSORBING THE TONALITY OF OUR MUSIC, LANGUAGE, TERRA AND DIALECTS. IT SURELY DEVELOPS A QUALITY IN ANYONE'S PLAYING AND BROADENS THE SONIC LANDSCAPE. I THINK THIS CD WILL REPRESENT THOSE QUALITIES TRANSLATED THROUGH SUSIE AND I'S INTERPRETATIONS. THIS PAST SUMMER, I HAD THE HONOR OF COMPETING FOR THE TITLE OF FIDDLER TO MARQUIS OF HUNTLY. AN ANCIENT POSITION DATING OVER 150 YEARS AGO. I SUBSEQUENTLY WON THE POSITION AND AM VERY PROUD TO BE LINKED TO THIS ANCIENT HERITAGE THAT I TRULY FEEL THAT SOMEHOW, I'VE BEEN LINKED TO BEFORE. WELL, FOR NOW, I'M BACK TO TEACHING HERE IN NY, ENJOYING MYSELF AND SHARING MY STORIES WITH THEM. CHEERS EVERYONE!CALUM
