I write music. I play accordion, piano and a bunch of other stuff. I am in the Claudia Quintet (John Hollenbeck's band). Sometimes I play with Shivaree, Laura Cantrell, Oren Bloedow & Jennifer Charles, and a few other people. I really like to write for films when people let me.
I used to play with Anthony Braxton, David Krakauer, Roberto Rodriguez, Slavic Soul Party, and a lot of other people.
Some of these songs are excerpts of long pieces from my new record. Some are unreleased tracks I thought might be interesting for people to hear.
Other info: I was born in Aroostook County, Maine and did in fact live on a bean farm.

Hi Ted Reichman, discovered your music few years ago in a CD shop down in Ottawa Canada. Thanks for your music. I like the solitude that shows through some of the melodies and the more edgy stuff. Great work. O_
