"Cinema Of Dreams is a collection of solo pieces that I composed and recorded over the last three years. Finding new musical settings for the cello has always been of interest to me, and on this CD I have stretched out in this regard more than ever. Some pieces have an electronic quality with oscillator-driven drone scapes, while others incorporate a distinctly classical orchestral sound. Then again, I also love including Rock and World Music elements, especially in the rhythmic structure. Imagine Film Noir to Electronica, with a detour to India and the Middle East...

So, there you have it- an esoteric blend of cello, combined with a bunch of other instruments that I play (sarangi, nyckelharpa, sitara, bass, sarod, various rhythm instruments, keyboards, etc) and sound design (tape effects, backwards phrasing, half speed loops, etc). Enjoy the journey!!"
