Journeys of a Cellist: November 2012
http://journeysofacellist.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Journeys of a Cellist. The Journeys and observations of a very non-traditional cellist. Wednesday, November 14, 2012. Was watching this beautiful video earlier and practicing this piece (which I taught myself from the video a while ago):. Anyway, between that and playing Prayer all the time, I was thinking that my upper register on the A string really sucks . so I thought I'd do some practicing, which meant a combination of scales and arpeggios (which I found infinitely more challenging and useful) .

Journeys of a Cellist. The Journeys and observations of a very non-traditional cellist. Monday, May 5, 2014. It's been a while, but I've gotten back in the swing of things with writing and performing and all that sort of stuff . Been working on some electronic music here: https:/ cellomike.bandcamp.com/album/electronic-explorations-luna. And I'm gonna be performing at Steampunk World's Fair. So I'm thinking I might record another lightning speed album leading up to that. Links to this post. I Broke My Bow.

Journeys of a Cellist. The Journeys and observations of a very non-traditional cellist. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. The last 6 months and the future of my music. The last 6 months or so have been pretty Weird! There's been a lot of just trying to hold on for the sake of holding on. I moved to Philly in the fall and things ended up not really working out there, and I quit the bands and projects I was in, with the intent of putting music on the backburner for a bit while I got my life together. PS - I'll...

Journeys of a Cellist. The Journeys and observations of a very non-traditional cellist. Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Practicing and Scale Methods. Was practicing some scale method stuff earlier (Galamian and Yompolsky) and a few things came up:. 1 Not slurring scale practice - many exercises introduce scales and patterns slurring as many notes as possible. This is initially a good thing, and great for developing long/legato bow control and beautiful tone. 3 Don't look down! Links to this post. Yet at t...

Journeys of a Cellist: Self-Consciousness In Music
http://journeysofacellist.blogspot.com/2013/03/self-consciousness-in-music.html
Journeys of a Cellist. The Journeys and observations of a very non-traditional cellist. Tuesday, March 12, 2013. I was watching this Joni Mitchell video earlier, and it struck me that basically everything I've watched from the 70s has this sort of free-spiritedness/freedom or even innocence if you will . it's very un-self-conscious . I think in the 80s, that got replaced with being unappologetic . and now we are in the era of hyper-self consciousness over music and video. I think he's very spot on. I'm g...
