About me:
I play the cello and piano/keyboard and tambourine with Religious to Damn, and love to sing, vocalize, caterwaul, improvise, gasp, bang on things... I also recently bought a ukulele. Chords mastered include: C Major, Bflat Major, F Major, a minor, A Major, and various 7 chords. ...Portland => Brooklyn... ...hermit crab... In Portland, I've played with Columbia Symphony Orchestra (2006-2009), Portland Cello Project (2006-?), Magick Daggers (2007-09), Lost Lockets, Vancouver Symphony. .. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Who I'd like to meet:
...composers, artists of all shapes and sizes, musicians to collaborate with and sing with... I'm very interested in recording gigs, any genre, playing cello! I can do tambourine and/or backing vocal as well! ...and a rich patron to fund it all...Interests
