Thanks to Samuel McNeish of The Telegram for writing such a thoughtful article that highlights some cool life moments and projects. It brought me to tears to read this. This sure has been one crazy adventure! Warms my heart to see the Ali Ryerson Gemeinhardt Musical Instruments alto flute featured in this picture. None of this would be happening right now without my supportive family of fans and friends. Thank you so much!

Ableton Live Sample Flute Pack
Woke up to something super cool this morning. This is a dream come true for me! I collaborated with #Ableton Live Certified Trainer, AfroDJMac and he created a sound sample pack of my flute sounds for Ableton Live. There are lots of really cool sounds in this but you need Ableton 10 to use it. Check out the video and share the link with your Ableton friends. So neat! https://youtu.be/mjRBZo2t_1w

I GAZE BACK – WORK IN PROGRESS
Inspired by my artistic residency through the Cucalorus Film Festival last year, a new live music/silent film project is being created and it features a new location that I’ve fallen in love with, Wilmington, North Carolina. I GAZE BACK involves a number of filmmakers I met while I was an artistic resident including: Shona Thomson, Mandi Edwards, Mariah Kramer, Matt Malloy, Matt Gossett and Josh Caine. There are 2 films of my own in the mix that were shot in Super 8 black and white and I hand-processed with film professor, Andre Silva at UNCW. I’m currently composing all the music for the films and should have the soundtracks completed by the end of August. Our goal is to submit the project to Cucalorus in order to perform the world premiere it at this year’s festival. Keep your fingers crossed for us! : )
