Dear friends, I’ve been hard at work completing new original material over the last few months, and I’m thrilled to share the first taste of what I’ve been up to! 🤩 Speed of Light is a standalone single that encapsulates all the signature elements of my style - crushing riffs, ornate Middle Eastern-inspired melodies, lush layers, and blistering solos. Originally composed as part of a commissioned work for the esteemed contemporary dance company @jwiltondance , Speed of Light is my visceral reworking of J.S. Bach’s Prelude to the G Major Cello Suite. It was recorded by @mcgilldarren (@thedirtynil @puptheband ) at @unionsoundco and features a crystal clear and massive-sounding mix by @adamwnoble (@leprousofficial @katatoniaband ). The video was filmed and edited by @darkfablemedia (@sleep_token @tesseractband ). The track is available now on Bandcamp, YouTube, and all streaming platforms (link in bio ☝️) - I hope you enjoy it! 🖤 Much love and gratitude, -RWB #cello #cellist #cellistsofinstagram #cellistoftheworld #cellists #celloplayer #cellogram #cellolove #cellolife #çello #leprous #middleeasternmusic #persianmusic #iranianmusic #iranmusic #arabicmusic #apocalyptica #violinist #violinists #violinistsofinstagram #progmetal #progressivemetal #metalmusic #btbam #betweentheburiedandme #toolband #sleeptoken #katatonia #tesseract #bach

“No, really, I play metal on cello” Reflection is one of the heaviest tracks I’ve released as a solo artist. I wanted it to feel imposing and immutable, like a monolith. Despite the snarling intensity of the insistent chugging riffs and pervading feeling of menace throughout, there is also something very meditative about its repetitiveness, as though it is guiding the listener to an altered state of consciousness amidst the turmoil and chaos. Come see me perform this live supporting @earthsideband in Europe: May 22 – London, UK @229london May 23 – Paris, France - @glazartparis @sanitmils May 24 – Zoetermeer, Netherlands - @boerderij_zoetermeer May 27 – Cologne, Germany - MTC May 29 – Hamburg, Germany - @betty_sanktpauli May 30 – Copenhagen, Denmark - @spillestedetstengade June 1 – Stockholm, Sweden - @kollektivetlivet_bar June 4 – Helsinki, Finland - @ontherockshelsinki June 5 – Tampere, Finland - @ankeafestival #cello #metallica #gojira #toolmusic #meshuggah

Last Friday, I low-key announced the release of my third studio album Empyrean, which drops September 11! The mesmerizing cover artwork for Empyrean was created by @callyconwayprints , a London-based printmaking and collage artist whose work I stumbled upon at @atelierbrighton during the first leg of the BACH Reimagined tour with @jwiltondance in 2025. I commissioned her to create an image I had in mind for the album cover and she absolutely nailed it. The artwork perfectly captures the themes of creative vision, the glimpse of the divine, mysticism, and transcendence that are at the heart of Empyrean. Two singles from the album - Reflection and Speed of Light, are already out! Stay tuned for pre-orders soon 👀
