Violin Passion

About Me

My passion is the violin.For more than 30 years I have been playing, studying and constantly exploring the mystery of this instrument. I have performed classical music, orchestral or chamber music, jazz, new age, Rock and Pop.As an arranger/producer/composer I had the pleasure of working with very talented people. I produced seven albums with violin stylist David Wilson, four albums with electric cellist Marston , and, most recently a double CD with compositions by actor John O'Hurley ( Seinfeld, Dancing With The Stars).The following collection of songs have been in my head for quite some time. The idea of blending grooves with orchestral forces, ambient rhythms with electric violin has always fascinated me.I perform on a "silent violin" from 1900, customized with a pick-up for creating my sound. I hope you enjoy listening to the meditative, uplifting, sometimes quiet or simply "fun" selections on this album.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
