Cellist, arranger, gamer, dad.
Definitely a new one for me, prepping for a session later this month where I’m a player, as well as the client and librarian. Part prep and printing day!!!

Just want to humbly point out that I was rocking the one loose curl on the forehead before Superman made it cool. 😎 Enjoy your day!

PROGRESS ON THE ALBUM FRONT! I hammered out an arrangement of FFVII Vincent's Theme, The Nightmare Begins. It has a couple of heavy influences, one is the version from FFVII Rebirth where one first meets Vincent. Another is Stravinsky's Firebird, which gave me ideas for enhancing the texture.

Third half gallon batch of pickles this year. Our garden absolutely buried us with cucumbers this year, with the early summer being so wet. I like cucumbers, but this was a bit extreme. 😂

One of my goals in the next month is to get this routine fast enough for a YT short. Not quite there yet! All major scales, 126 bpm. Kind of liked the crazy lighting from the window, so decided to go with it.
What are some things that you need in your daily work routine?

Made a little something for #quartetRPG release week. Rather meta, a cello quartet version of the string quartet section of Apokatastasis, from the game Quartet, from @somethingclassic.bsky.social 😁 Music by @tylermire.bsky.social Hope you enjoy, and give this game all the love!

Chrono Trigger turns 30 this year!! I recorded a short something to celebrate the anniversary of the US release last week. Nobody does harmony and melody like @yasunorimitsuda.procyon-studio.com. Please enjoy!!

The garden this year has been truly stunning, and we’ve had so many lovely visitors! Butterfly to brighten your day, spicebush swallowtail, according to Google lens.

Have to enjoy a brief moment of pride on a day where I went hard at food prep. Baked a couple of loaves of bread, bruschetta with tomatoes and basil from the garden, Tzatziki with cucumbers and fresh mint from the garden. Looking forward to eating for these next few days! 😊

GEAR LEVEL UP! I just added this lovely AEA R88 and TRP3 preamp to my studio equipment. I’ve now used them for a few small projects, and am in love! The R88 is a fantastic complement to my AKG 414 close mic, and I’m really looking forward to bringing it in for many, many projects going forward!

Had a little time to record, decided to do something fun. 😊

EVERYONE, we’re in the home stretch of our Kickstarter campaign!!! Sixty-five wonderful souls have backed us, and we’ve raised nearly $5K! That’s incredible, but we still need a big surge of support in the final days if we’re going to hit our $12K target. Check us out! Link in comments ➡️

Everyone, our Kickstarter funding for our FFVII string quartet album project is sitting around 27% with 18 days to go! I’m incredibly excited about the support we’ve gotten so far, but we need a new surge of momentum to achieve our funding goal. Check us out and back Heroes of Midgar today!!

Well, it’s my birthday, and to mark the occasion, I have a very cool thing to share with you all! My colleagues of the Eikon string quartet and I are working on an album!! We’ll launch a Kickstarter to support the project - booking the studio, engineering and the production process on July 1st!

It’s that kind of day. 🍫☕️

Who all am I seeing at GDC next week?
So excited to see old friends and meet new ones. Looking forward also to talking about everything involving recording live players in Nashville, whether it’s a cello or other solo instrument in my home studio, or a larger group in the bigger studios in the area.

“How sweet. When did you get so thoughtful?”
Tifa’s theme - The Star of Seventh Heaven, #ffvii
Starting a big push these next couple of weeks, just two arrangements left to finish before the end of March!

When the power company is doing maintenance in your neighborhood, sometimes you have to improvise a bit.

Barret’s Theme - Bitter Memories, FFVII Rebirth. One of my favorite tracks from Rebirth which is dramatically different than the original. And it works, Rebirth’s exploration of Barret’s story had so much emotional weight, very fitting for the different take on these melodies.

We’re back at it, reading more music for our May concert! I’m incredibly lucky to be able to work with these folks!! 😊
