Back from Brazil

I just came back from the PercPan festival in Brasil. It was great to hang out and perform with Ahmad Al-Khatib, Andrea Piccioni and Angela, and Marcus Suzano. Also there is a new Frame Drum Video Podcast featuring Daf player Shekoofeh Pariab from Iran. This one was recorded at Tamburi Mundi in Freiburg.

the new Podcast:

Early music

One of my early music ensembles “Per Far Lieto” with Catalina Vicens on Organetto was recently featured on Harmonia Early Music Radio with some tracks from our upcoming CD. The recording is online, we are about 30 minutes into the show.

and another one of a collaboration between the early music ensembles Cordatum and Rayuela, a track from the recently released CD “Dolci Canti”.

Advanced Riq DVD

The advanced Riq DVD is finally released. Lots of the footage was shot in Tunisia about a year ago, but it took me quite a while finishing the editing.
Its available from framedrums.net and percussion-net.com.

advanced frame drums 1 and 2 DVDs

My advanced frame drum DVDs are finally out. It was a long journey and the project went through many rough spots. I’m especially excited about number 2 because I ended up re-recording 80% of the DVD in my own studio, and I think it’s the best one so far, or at least the one which is closest to how I had it in mind.

The DVDs are available from my website and from percussion-net, check out the trailer:
