This multimedia concert was created for the digital world – including repertoire that takes full advantage of digital music as a tool. Whether you are on your phone or computer, this concert was designed to reach you even if you don’t have access to a home theater. This concert is not possible in a concert hall or a jazz bar because each piece is performed outside it’s “intended” setting. Instead of the traditional setting, I decided to perform pieces in a variety of common and public places.

With the blessing from each composer, and the help of technology, tune or dial in for an out of context classical percussion recital.

Through the mythology of many cultures around the world, people explore the depth of their desire through stories of water spirits that share a common theme: dreams and desires, and the great sacrifices that they demand. Combining the concept of audiobooks, miniseries, and classical concerts, four water spirits stories will be presented, both in music and in words.
