Hello! I have a nice little variety pack of local shows on Whidbey Island in Washington in December. My string trio, is playing on Dec 9 in Freeland, my cello and drums duo is playing at Dancing Fish on the 14th and I'm doing a silent film show in Langley on the 28th. Details can be found on the gigs page.
Buster Keaton made a string of brilliant films at and Sherlock Jr is a personal favorite of mine. This is an excerpt from that film with my cello soundtrack. Clocking in at 8:37 it's a big ask nowadays, but I think this may just hold your attention. Context (you can skip this paragraph) - Our hero is a mild-mannered film projectionist with aspirations of being a great detective. He is, of course, in love with a sweet young lady but his slimy competitor just framed him so it looks like Buster stole something from her father. This scene opens where he is asked to leave the house and she returns the ring he had just given her. Moments later the slime-ball exits and Buster is hot on his trail. Hilarity ensues. Later on, back in the projection booth, he is dejected and sleepy. Ashe begins rolling the film, he goes into a dream sequence which is cinematically brilliant and wonderfully bizarre. This excerpt concludes as the 'dream movie' (think Wizard of Oz) begins, shortly before the debonair Sherlock Jr appears. Sherlock Jr excerpt - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAwpe20H-2k
My new string trio has inspired me to create a catalog of trio sheet music for 2 cellos and 1 violin. This includes pieces that I reworked from cello quintets/quartets as well as some brand new ones. All 0f these are also available as cello trios. Everybody knows that sheet music is the ideal stocking stuffer. All are available at Sheet Music PDF page .
Behold! The much anticipated trio arrangement of New Toy has arrived. This video of New Toy is a solo loop version. Now you only need two friends instead of a looper.
