This recording celebrates the marriage of
two things for which I posses a deep love:
beauty and absurdity.
When, as a 10-year-old, I discovered that it was possible to play beautiful music on an instrument which most people thought of as loud and obnoxious, I was immediately captivated by the idea. Over the years that followed, I spent a great deal of time exploring different ways of tuning and playing the banjo, in order to create a larger and more satisfying sound.
This album, which I released in late 2009, contains some of my favorite solo banjo compositions. The overall character of the music is mellow and contemplative - similar to what you might expect from solo piano or solo guitar. It would also behoove me to mention that this CD was one of the 3 final nominees at the 2010 International Bluegrass Music Awards, in the categories of both Best Graphic Design and Best Liner Notes.
I no longer have physical copies of this album, but you can purchase or stream the music digitally through most online vendors and services. You can also puchase a complete digital copy, including album artwork and liner notes, from my Ko-fi shop.
