Song #4: “Daylight”: My first-ever full-length solo concerts happened in November 2011, and I’m very happy that we were able to videotape them. This is a live performance of the song “Daylight,” written by the wonderful Mike Errico.
“Daylight” is a post-breakup song unlike anything I’ve ever written (mine have tended toward the melancholy). Maybe it’s a female vs. male thing, maybe not…but in any case I’ve always been drawn to this song, and I think it sounds best with all the pronouns/gender references as Mike originally wrote them.

Song #3: “Patiently”: This is what happens when you write a song on piano when you’re barely out of your teens and then reinvent it for looping violin twenty years later. Read full blog entry here.

Song #2: “Wild Moon NYC”: One of the exciting aspects of looping is that it lends itself perfectly to doing mashups; and one of the exciting aspects of this new solo show is that I’m including mashups of “guilty pleasure” songs from the ’70s and ’80s — it’s fascinating to go through old records (and newly purchased iTunes files) with an ear for which chord progressions are EXACTLY THE SAME.

Song #1: “In Your Eyes”: This is the very first song we put together for my new solo performance project with Ableton Live, and WOW the learning curve is steep! Read full blog entry here.
