I will also be touring live behind the 1923 silent film, 'The Grub-Stake', this May in Calgary, Ottawa's Northern Scene Festival and at Toronto's TIFF Lightbox Theatre! Check the tour page for exact dates!! Songlines has released the debut recording by Haram, led by Gord Grdina! The 10-piece band features a combo of some of Vancouver's more prominent improvising & Arabic musicians. I take the chair of the violinist on this one! Here's a recent review from The Vancouver Sun! I recently worked on albums (violin, viola & some cello parts) for the likes of Stars, Mother Mother & The Crackling. Victo Records recently released a CD of a live performance I did with Tanya Tagaq at the 2010 Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville! The album also has Jean Martin on the drumkit! You can get a copy for yourself directly from me here, or from Actuelle CD! Here are some reviews of the album! ...some of my string stuff appears on the current Dan Mangan recording 'Oh Fortune' (2 time Juno Award Winner)! Check it out, it's a great record! ...here are some live reviews of the Dawson City Music Festival! Our set (Tanya Tagaq) was hailed as "a 40-minute piece of improvisation that was intimate, sensual, terrifying, beautiful, ugly, shrieking and cathartic." by Exclaim! and a "remarkable performance" by The Line of Best Fit! Here is my incomplete, but pretty good, discography at allmusic.com! Take 'er easy.
