My experiment-- in order to grow as an artist and learn more about music in general, to enhance my songwriting, I spent some time studying classical composition in the late 90's and composed a few classical pieces for strings and piano (strictly as a composer, not as a performer). In a stroke of amazing fortune, the world-renowned Lydian String Quartet agreed to play one of my pieces and we made a small recording at a concert hall in Massachusetts.

Years later, I got to put it out on CD (along with some additional recordings of my piano pieces, performed by Paul Hedemark). It was the debut release from Roomful of Sky Records!
