I have experience collaborating with artists across a variety of disciplines. I have been commissioned by choreographers to develop sound scores, improvisational accompaniments, and compositions for solo cello and have experience as an improvisatory accompanist for dance classes and jams. I have collaborated with sound artists and other musicians within improvised live performance settings and as a vocalist and cellist for a variety of pop, electronic, and experimental recording projects and live shows.
