Excited to share “Four Organum” by @c_whit , a piece I commissioned last year as a part of a long term project creating new music for solo 5-string Violin. Very grateful to Chris for the incredible music, @jackkloecker for a the video vision, @nickmontopoli for the audio mixing, and of course @jacobyfineviolins for the beast of a violin. Stay tuned for the full release soon. • My Five Fingers by CW & ZM • my five fingers future red sausages flip the egg the heat won’t burn right away but when it does, it’ll sing evaporating brown water in the bird bath society splash pad for the migratory now a backwards shallow crust one hundred and twelve knuckles dancing round the cards an auction begins what’s a few missing fingers when there’s so much money to spend? planes must take off there by the lake resort driving range through summertime smoke looking at my z axis emotions never charted

A little improvisation from my recent session with @fish_yu_0111 . This session was scheduled right before a couple of improv-based performances so I decided to get a little warm-up in. Some nice little moments that I’ll be sharing alongside some more music for solo violin. 🎥: @fish_yu_0111 / @sbproductionco #violinist #violinistofinstagram #violin #improvisedmusic #improvisation #scarampella #jazzviolin #kinda

Very excited to share the world premiere recording of Linda Catlin Smith’s “Remnants”. I’ve always dreamed of commissioning a handful of works inspired by Biber and Linda graciously wrote this piece for me back in 2024. I’m so glad to finally share this moving and meditative work.
