Good morning, Nostr 🌅
Still on viola today in preparation before my recording gig tomorrow. This morning I was listening to Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé, Suite No. 2, one of my favorite orchestral works. In the opening, “Lever du Jour” (“Daybreak”), Ravel paints the sunrise so beautifully, with everything slowly waking up, light spreading. I couldn’t resist improvising a viola line over it, just for fun.
Hope you enjoy this little morning sunrise duet with Ravel 😊

Good afternoon Nostr!
🌲🎻 A reminder that my orchestral piece “The Forest Reclaims the Land” is available to download & stream on Wavlake!
It’s one of my biggest works so far — for full orchestra — and I’d love for you to check it out.
Here I am playing one of the violin tunes in the piece… with a fancy crossfade into the actual recording!
If you download and it brings you value, consider sending a zap ⚡️ — it goes straight to supporting more music like this. 💜

⚡️🎻 Wednesday = Improv Game Day!
This week I’m kicking things off with a 15-second teaser improv. It’s a little burst of mystery, fire, and silliness… to set the stage for your creative ideas!
Here’s how the game works:
1️⃣ Comment a word or theme 🌱
2️⃣ Drop a zap 💜⚡️
3️⃣ Tomorrow I’ll improvise a tune inspired by the word from the highest-zapper!
Last week @nprofile…hapj won with the word “Liars” and a 10k zap 😮
Can it be topped?!?⚡️⚡️⚡️
✨ New twist: if your word doesn’t win, it goes to the “Encore List”. If anyone reposts tomorrow’s winning improv and comments “Encore!” — I’ll pick one word from the list to do an Encore improv immediately or next day.
So… what’s your word for tomorrow’s big improv?? 👀
