Dear Friends,

I hope you're enjoying these last days of summer.

Do you listen to your heart? It's a wonderful practice. In a quiet space. we can hear our deepest wishes, and our deepest truth. 

My heart has been leading me to serve the heart....

To kirtans with Krishna Das, Appalachia with renowned, multi Grammy-winning percussionist Glen Velez and poets Rosemerry Trommer and Kim Rosen.  

And to the Omega Institute, where I shared teachings Ram Dass shared with me, and guided meditations with my cello. watch a video.

I also invite you to receive my emails about the spiritual path, including short pieces like this one about the sad passing of Robert Thurman..

You'll receive a relaxing cello meditation track when you sign up 

with percussionist Glen Velez and poets Rosemerry Trommer and Kim Rosen.

As always, I love hearing from you with your questions or comments below. ❤️

Wishing you an openhearted autumn,

Noah

Dear Friends,

I hope you're well.

I'm excited to share that Genoa Strings' Sky Dance is out today! We're enthused about this track and hope you enjoy it too. It's already been added to some sizable playlists which seems like a good start to its life. 

I'm so happy to be sharing new music with you. Our intention is to bring soothing sounds.

If you have a moment today, have a listen on your favorite platform, or download on Bandcamp.

Here’s a link for all of that.

And if you have time, let me know what you think. I appreciate hearing from you and am grateful for all you do. ❤️‍🔥

Take care and have a beautiful day,

Noah

Dear Friends,

I hope you're staying warm.

Up here in the hills, it’s not warm—tonight will be 1º and that’s not counting the wind! I’m enjoying sitting by the fire, writing to you and dreaming of spring. Meanwhile, music fills the air and keeps me warm inside. 

It’s an honor to be part of some incredibly warming things.

First, the new album by my friend and incredible composer/multi-instrumentalist Bryan Senti. La Marea features his playing, bass by Spencer Zahn, the Czech National Symphony and my cello playing.

The album was featured on NPR's best albums of the week playlists in October. 

Listen to La Marea on your favorite platform and watch this incredible video of the title track—

The soundtrack to Jimmy in Saigon is out, by my friend and Krishna Das bandmate John McDowell, who scored the Oscar-winning film Born into Brothels.

John collaborated with Sabina Sciubba of Brazilian Girls—my old Brooklyn buddies—to compose the music for this award-winning doc. 

I play both written and improvised parts that are featured in many scenes of the film. 

Listen here on your favorite platform. 
 

Live:

I’m looking forward to playing with Krishna Das and Nina Rao at the upcoming Menla winter retreat, which will also feature performance artist Marina Abramowic.

And see you at Tibet House NYC on January 1 for 108 Hanuman Chalisas with Nina, KD and many more.

Stay warm and keep putting the love out there—we need it.

Yours in music,

Noah
