Description:
Happy Christmas to one and all!
This is a cello improvisation that I did after waking up to the first big snow here in Colorado. It was intended for a collaboration that I hope will still follow... but I wanted to post a solo cello version of it as well. I hope you find some repose in it during this crazy yuletide season.

This is gorgeous Daniel - what a special christmas gift!
LunaTrick
All teasing aside... I'm thrilled to have your feedback and eagerly anticipate your next work!

This was lovely to listen to as my first MJ listen of Christmas Day.
I've d/l this to have a look at what I might like to do with this. i'll let you know if anything comes out of my ideas.
Take care.

As I remarked in the PM, I would be thrilled by your experimentations with my work!

But wait... was this a single recording? because at 0:16, I hear a single legato note being played simultaneously with a separate melody line on a different string... I know that can be played, but it is still really striking and impressive to hear. Love the strong vibrato here and there, very strong melody line. And in some ways, this seems to create warmth against the cold. Nice rich tone, nice depth in playing... I like it! Sounds like all the strings are there again! :-) I'm in line to collab with you... I'll be writing something for you to flaunt your expert cellosity!
ttfn,

It is a tecnique called "double stopping" that I have been working on. Ironic term - but that's what it is called. I eagerly await our next collaboration my friend!

the collab is definitely still happening. holidays got me all jammed up, but i'm well into it. you already know that I think this is brilliant. wish i could play with your passion.
LunaTrick
You have your own passion.. and I appreciate you extending it to our cello/theremin piece.

My goal for 2009 is to keep you guessing. You are quite the multifaceted type yourself sir!
Bowman
and introspective.
I liked it.
LunaTrick
As I stated earlier, it is the most intimate instrument for me. What other instrument do you have to caress with your whole body in order to play?
VicDiesel
A cello has such a beautiful dark sound. Goes well with the time of year.
LunaTrick
It is a wintery instrument too!
gisli
This is very impressive and so beautiful. Expresses admixture emotions.
LunaTrick
I've really enjoyed your music also!
kassia
with passion. this is gorgeous. deep and brooding. all of your songs always have a wonderful sense of space and room to move and breathe. but most especially these meditative pieces. you have a real ability to find the space between notes and let it have it's moment. you're getting a beautiful sound from the cello - sounds like you're really figuring things out with the mics and getting back your cello chops! can't wait to hear more.
LunaTrick
You are so very encouraging, kind, and thoughtful. As you know, I've been spending quite a bit of time with my cello.... partly to get my chops up to play with you!!!
MarkHolbrook
Daniel... There is something magical about cello and a master playing it. I love this. I'm really glad the snow pushed you this direction!
LunaTrick
The snow had a lot to do with it.... perhaps I'll do one for each season like George Winston!
segiperkasa
that was some cool play...
