This is what my body wanted to say after experiencing the Bang on a Can music festival for the last three weeks. 
I'm forever grateful for the experience.

Can on a Bang

Willful
         Playful
                    Bountiful
                                   Flowerful
                                                  Hopeful 
                                                               Wishful

Improvisation N.3

Ella Beard - Viola
Daniel Knapp - Cello
Thomas Gauthier-Lang - Saxophone

This improvisation happened in the Like Magic exhibition among the ''U.S. Customs Demands to Know'' installation by iranian artist Gelare Khoshgozaran at MASS MoCA. 

This moment was a special one - I particularly love the sound of the school kids talking that was caught in this recording. I remember being filled with intense emotions after playing with Ella and Daniel and having tears of joy dripping down my face.
