other musicians with whom I have played...
Mar
Recorded with these lovely young lads in July 2007 at a log cabin in Arkansas. Their album "The Sound" will be out soon!
Check 'em out.
Imogen Heap
I've joined Imogen onstage whenever I'm opening for her on tour. She is amazing in just about every way I can think of.
Buy her albums and listen to them carefully. I know you will like them.
Halou
San Francisco trip-poppers
Halou are made up of Ryan and Rebecca Coseboom and Mikael 'Count' Eldridge.
Count is a producer with delicate ears and a pretty amazing resume. He is the one who applied all the final production sparkle to my
album "One Cello x 16: Natoma".
Charles Atles
Whenever I have time, I really enjoy playing with Charles Atlas.
A beautiful band of beautiful people who make beautiful music.
In 2003, I played the cello on their latest record. Hopefully no one can tell,
but I recorded all the cello parts with a broken left index finger (a stress-fracture obtained while recording Frustration
Plantation).

No Name Trio
A trio consisting of myself, violinist Tony Cross and percussionist Mark Bernfield. A swirling, improvisatory vortex of sound.
bands I used to play with...
Rasputina
In 2002, I joined Melora Creager's infamous cello-rock sweatshop, Rasputina.
I had a lot of fun performing and touring in the band, and I recorded two albums with them:
a studio album, Frustration Plantation, released in 2004,
and one live album, A Radial Recital, released the summer of 2005.
I left Rasputina early in 2006 to focus on my solo efforts.

Alfred
Short-lived, extremely earnest, perhaps too instense to last, Alfred was formed in 1997 with Van Gogh's Daughter chanteuse/guitarist Jane Woodman, Italian bass player Gianfranco Pescetti, electric violinist Tony Cross, drummer Kat Zumbach and featuring my vocal debut. The band burned bright, disintigrating in 1999 just as we seemed to be getting somewhere. We painstakingly recorded one short EP and made a mini, animated music video with director Rodney Ascher (which made it all the way to the Cannes Film Festival in 1999). There have been rumors of a reunion concert...
Alfred, the video. By Rodney Ascher

bigger & faster version:"Alfred" @ Zed TV
A collaboration between the band and the filmmaker, 'Alfred' is a short film
about the mysteries of other people's inner lives, the isolation of the
individual within a group, good stiff drinks and traffic safety.
It was part of the 1998 ResFest and 1999 Cannes Film Festival shorts
Van Gogh's Daughter
This is pretty ancient history. Van Gogh's Daughter was formed by
Jane Woodman (with whom I later formed the band Alfred), Paige Weber and Jeanne Hangauer.
I played with them during their final year together.
Not much info out there, but here is a picture of us at the BAMMIES in 1997 with the drummer from Chris Isaac's band:
