about

A few winters ago I injured a nerve which impaired the use of my left hand for a few months. Unable to play violin and deprived of my principal means of artistic expression, I was forced to stop everything and look at different ways of making music. That’s where the concept for Odd Stillness was born. Looking away from harmonic progression and instrumental virtuosity, this recording embraces stagnation, inviting the listener to contemplate the serenity or tension within the moment. Like an ambivalent musical meditation, Odd Stillness doesn’t pretend that introspection is all blissful. Stillness can be relaxing, but it can also be frustrating, maddening, joyful, voluptuous, or bleak.
I invited some of my favourite local musicians to take on the challenge of improvising within strict bounds, using only one note at a time, blindly overdubbing several times before uncovering the final result. Their personalities radiate through their playing and I am immensely grateful for their contributions.
