Rehearsal "footage" of an ongoing collaboration with pianist Basia Bochenek. 

Nacht und Träume (Night and Dreams)

Christian hymn written by Henry Francis Lyte. This is a standard arrangement that I read off of a score.   

Abide With Me

With pianist Richard Valitutto. 
Mondnacht is the fifth song in Schumann's glorious "Liederkreis" cycle.

~~
TRANSLATION
It was as if the sky
Had quietly kissed the earth,
So that in a shower of blossoms
She must only dream of him.

The breeze wafted through the fields,
The ears of corn waved gently,
The forests rustled faintly,
So sparkling clear was the night.

And my soul stretched 
its wings out far,
Flew through the still lands,
as if it were flying home.

What Child Is This?

I'm a vocalist and performer, interested primarily in the use of the voice as a multi-faceted instrument across a broad range of styles and genres. I love going into the studio and layering my voice 1000s of times, creating a sonic army of me that blends and distorts and tickles and grows and moves. That said, I'm not much for the so-called "contemporary" vocal music scene... you know, where the singer just makes strange, guttural sounds for 35 minutes... I don't really understand that so much. I have studied the vocal music of many different cultures, including Bulgaria, Persia, Brazil and American folk, in addition to my training in western classical technique. I hold a BFA in vocal performance from CalArts.
