SLAP is an etude designed to activate a couple of left hand techniques that bring rhythmic color and texture into accompanying on the cello, namely, a left hand slap on the fingerboard and the use of muted pizzicato notes for conveying the consistent flow of the pulse. Download includes a page of notes and tips.

A skipping pizzicato pattern and chord progression in 9/8 time which places the cello in the center of a piece for diverse improvising instruments.

Originally an improvisation in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, this contemplative piece from Missa Gaia/Earth Mass by the Paul Winter Consort is a dramatic 4-minute cello solo featuring unique use of natural harmonics.

This is the first twelve bars - the "head" - that I play twice at the beginning and once at the end of my blues improv. This pizzicato "head" is one of many possible variations on a blues progression and my improv follows the 12-bar phrasing and progression.

For effected cello (digital delay) and recording of humpback whale. Optional accompaniment for keyboard/organ included (older file, some beams missing!) String and full orchestra accompaniment also available.
