Missouri Fiddlin'
Old-time Fiddle Music in Missouri
Musical Cubes
"Musical Cubes" is an experimental research project that integrates music- listening with reading, visualizing, and practicing of music.
The purpose is to facilitate deeper meaning when listening to music.
The music that is in the cubes represents my favorite English-language, non-classical music in the world.
