Please Support a Bay Area Working Musician~Since 1983!

Thanks for stopping by. This is my donation page wherein you can offload your extra cash, support my work, and be a part of my ongoing projects. You are welcome to donate anytime the spirit moves you~ I live in gratitude to be a working musician, your kind donations go a long way towards the realization of my ongoing projects. I’ve always something brewing with my ensembles and always dreaming up new ways to write and perform music. Here’s what’s happening at this moment:

I’m working on helping distribute the most recent film I scored, Chagall, a project that took me 34 years to be a part of, and one that I’m very proud of. I composed the music and foley, it’s an 8-minute delight. I hope you get to see it.

I’m presently in rehearsals and recording sessions with my relatively new ensemble Russian Telegraph. We’re putting the final touches on a 6-song EP we recorded at Bird and Egg Studio. It’ll be released this spring~if you haven’t caught us live, stop in at a concert, it’s a stunning sextet.

I’m working on booking another Hillside Club engagement for Clarinet Thing. Meanwhile I’m assembling another release for my burgeoning All Hands On Deck Publishing company that will include a Clarinet Thing ‘Live at the Hillside’ music release and a music book of clarinet quartets culled from our vast repertoire.

I’m arranging music and practicing for my Katchapuri Trio gig on March 29th.

I’ve been applying for grants and hope to get in the final round of SFAC for my next project CARNIVAL OF SOME ANIMALS (working title) wherein I study and animals and their relations with humans and create a song cycle from those studies.

Stephen Kent and I are working on Trance Mission engaging again. We laid some groundwork for a new release with drummer Peter Valsamis. Our Le Pendu was released the date of lockdown in 2020 and never really saw the light of day. Check it out!

I’m working on booking a summer film and music series at The New Farm. Details forthcoming!
