KAIVAMA: My friend and colleague Jonathan Rundman and I have joined in our Finnish mining roots to create a new ensemble called 'Kaivama.' Check our the link to our myspace above to hear sound samples and read more.
GRANT RECEIVED I am very fortunate to receive a grant from Finlandia Foundation National to study folk music in Finland this fall. Contacts will include Mauno Järvelä, Arto Järvelä, and AK Opisto in Kaustinen. Stay tuned next year to hear the results!
STRING MOD String Mod combines the influences of its members: tango, classical, hot club, balkan, folk, to create a new incarnation of a string quartet. Listen to samples on myspace - hire us for your party!
�The real essence of art turned out to be not something high up and far off - it was right inside my ordinary daily self - If a musician wants to become a finer artist, he must first become a finer person.� -Suzuki
