about

BLUSH is my most recent work and was recorded, processed, mixed and mastered in my bedroom during during the COVID-19 pandemic. This work materialized as a positive result of extreme physical and emotional overwhelm, instigated by the music industry shut down and an increasingly chaotic and physically demanding ‘pandemic job’ working in customer service at a pottery studio. After battling a severe nerve injury to my neck & hands for more than a decade, my injury became intensely aggravated and piqued, causing complete disruption and dysfunction of performing regular mundane tasks, as well as my ability to play my instrument.
BLUSH is my first performed and composed work since beginning recovery and is a composite of 3 expanded chunks of improvisation based on 3 smaller gestural motifs: glassy harmonics, balayage gestures or slurred rolling chords, and a three-note pizzicato chord that is the first sound heard. Scored for cello in a scordatura, or broken tuning ( B - F# - D - A ), the piece incorporates very lightly processed electronics from live recordings of three separate takes of improvisation.
