Bands I Regularly Play With
"Other" Projects
Sometimes, I just like to sit in the studio and see what I can come up with! Here's a few examples (frequently rotations off of my Myspace page):
Toca Static Whip Demo
Backstage Pass
I like to record my performances and rehearsals both for study and archive purposes. The quality isn't great (I use a digital voice recorder, meant for dictation, and I am coming from the back of the stage). I'll rotate some stuff through this section to keep it current!
- Raleigh Symphony performing Finlandia by Sibelius. One of my rare appearances on timpani!
- Raleigh Symphony performing La Guiablesse by William Grant Still. Andrew Riley on second percussion part.
- Durham Symphony performing Brahms' Fourth Symphony, third movement (I'm on Triangle!)
- Lullabye Of Birdland, played by the Will McBride Group at Flipside in Clayton, 2.05.05
- Dibon, played by an ensemble led by Beverly Bottsford on lead djembe, at a Community African Dance class in Durham (I'm on dundunba, the low, thuddy bass drum)
here's some oldies! I had a jazz group back in '97 or so called Blue Matter. The bass player made some lo-fi recordings at some of our sets:
