In 2020, Romy Keegan of Maple Street Dance and I collaborated online using my improvised cadenzas to lead into and out of the J.S. Bach Partita No 1 in B minor for Unaccompanied Violin Allemande movement. The piece is very difficult for clarinet as it was scored for string crossings, however the dramatic large melodic leaps dovetail wonderfully with Romy's gracefully loose dance choreography. I'm pleased with how the rhythmic stretch evolved with our rehearsals, keeping the melodic intervals and metric subdivisions the same as notated. I hope these recordings inspire your movement and concept of classic composition to stretch as well.

Floating flute and classical guitar -- Echoes of Water will soothe your soul -- perfect for meditation or yoga, car trips, children's bedtimes. Bring some bliss into your ears!

My first Echoes Series Collaboration, I invited Eric into the FTM Studio in Lakewood, CO.

We didn't have much framework set in place except for some modalities and an idea of floating from six/eight to no rhythm. What a wonderful afternoon we had before we both had to scurry off to the rest of our scheduled day. We hope you'll feel the same sense of respite when you take in these lush sound tapestries that soared out of us that day. .
