Dear Lovely People,


I hope you're all well as can be, all considered. These times have been very trying for everyone and one of the most difficult things it seems is to remain connected to one another. I hope this email helps in some small way. One other way I find helpful is just to contemplate the amazing connections that we share, whether we are apart or close. In my heart, I can feel the part of me that is you, and the part of you that is me. That’s the reality in this world. On some level, we’re never far apart. And I’m grateful for that. 

For the past months I've been doing some recording and mixing for folks who are far away, from my home studio. It’s wonderful to note that we’re still able to make music together, and the distance is not so far after all. Here’s a sampling of some great music that I’ve lucky to be a part of recently. I hope you can support these artists and have a listen to their work 🤗

First released was a stunning track by amazing composer/producer Bryan Senti on 7K! Records, part of a compilation called String Layers:

Then, a great recording from a few years back was remastered and released by amazing vocalist Loire Cotler, along with multi-grammy-winning percussionist Glen Velez and VK Raman on Indian Flutes:

Finally, I recorded several tracks via Zoom for a wonderful album of devotional music, including a tribute to my teacher, Ram Dass, by Adam Bauer. I love this album:

Stay tuned for more new releases, including an original album of meditative music for cello, piano, tabla and fretless bass, coming soon! While you’re on Spotify, please follow me there. Your support is deeply appreciated. 

Take care and stay well.

New Cello Video!!

Dear Friends!

I hope this finds all of you well as possible.

I'm writing to you to share a video of Summer's Spell for Cello and Loops, a piece that's meant to soothe. In these times, I've noticed it helps me to listen to music that's soft and healing, and I hope this fills that need for you. Later this year, We'll be releasing an album of this music co-created with my friend, pianist Wells Hanley.

I made this video as part of a fundraiser for Saving Wild Tigers, an organization that works to preserve the habitat and lives of tigers in India, home of the world's largest population of tigers in the wild, and the most viable population for the survival of the species.

If you feel moved, please make a donation however large or small here. The organization, founded by wonderful chant artist Nina Rao, gives all money directly to work in the field.

Please subscribe to my Youtube Channel thank you! Be safe and stay well. Love, Noah

Natalie Merchant Streaming

Dear Friends,

I hope this finds you well.

In my last message to you, I wrote about the butterfly. Chaos Theory states that even our smallest actions influence the whole world. A butterfly flapping her wings in Brazil influences weather across the globe.  Strangely enough, I heard just after that Natalie Merchant's Butterfly has become available online. 

Butterfly is a beautiful album of Natalie's songs with strings. I was thrilled to be a part of this wonderful creation and to have a handful of solos on the album. Natalie is not only a great musician, but has a heart of gold and has long been active and visible in social causes. Her voice sounds as beautiful as ever.

The album can be streamed and downloaded on iTunes HERE or streamed on Spotify HERE

While you're on Spotify, please make sure and follow me there! I'm working on building a following there to help me get my own music out into the Big World. You can do that HERE.


Thanks so much for your support.
Stay well.

Noah
