fellow musicians (soft spot for violists wanting to let loose and play something other than Bach/Brahms), filmmakers, songwriters, bookniks; lovers of fresh greens, breads, and a peculiar but good time. :)
primarily, my interests lie in world music. Special emphasis on music from Persia, Transylvania, Mali and Cuba; beat the donkey, bang on a can, bjork, bartok, bach, Sibelius, Kronos quartet, Yo-Yo Ma, Rokia Traore, Romica Puceanu, Cachao, Bebo + Chucho Valdes, and tons of others.If you want to sample hear music most times of the day, tune in to WFMU .you can also check out some of my original music - lots of variety there.
