solo videos from NYC and Santa Fe...
Are up! Two pieces from the solo set in NYC and an extended version of one of those pieces ("For Tagore") , filmed in Santa Fe at luthier Rick Canton's space (see http://www.myspace.com/cantoncustomguitars , who is also posting some of these clips ).
I've been immersing myself in the impeccable emotion, beauty and compositional genius of robindrasongeet, and studying Bengali to help that process. The second piece came spontaneously out of that.
There is a Santa Fe version for the first NY piece ("The River Burns, Embraced By Night") as well, but i haven't looked at or edited that footage yet, so it will be a few days. While the NY version is ok (though there are some nervous edges), the piece was orignally conceived for a much longer arc. If it is a good take (and i think it is), it will go up in two or three segments due to length. If it's not a good take I may do it again -- or not:)
