I am a Canadian cellist, specializing in free improvised, interactive electronic and classical music. I believe in music made from listening, collaboration and interaction. I love to express the music of our ancestors and the music of my reality. I love to combine and integrate sounds: old and new, acoustic and electronic, pure and processed. I strive to find the music in all sound, getting inside a sound to find its core and expression. I believe that music made out of listening is music of the heart.
Please check out my site and the links, especially my company suddenlyLISTEN, where you can hear lots of music and learn even more!
What's New
October 1 - season well underway
Summer is over, the Symphony has begun, and suddenlyLISTEN is in high gear! I just got home from Newfoundland performing with Gwen Noah and teaching kids at Memorial U.
October 29, Halifax
suddenlyLISTEN is delighted to announce that Artistic Director Norm Adams is recipient of a Nova Scotia Scotia Arts and Partnership Council 2010 Established Artist Recognition Award. These five awards, with a value of $5000 each, honour mid-career artists who have shown artistic excellence , have an exciting vision for the future, and merit recognition for the contributions they make to Nova Scotia's artistic community. Norm's success is a tribute to his work with Symphony Nova Scotia, Gwen Noah Dance, and of course, with suddenlyLISTEN!
June 12, Summer is here!
I'm in PEI playing Anne of Green Gables as usual, my favourite summer gig. This summer is nicely varied as I play classical chamber music in Wolfville, NS, Improvised music at the Halifax Jazz Fest, in July. Then in August I'm off to Mulhouse France for Meteo Mulhouse, where I'll spend 5 days with Joelle Leandre, en francais. And on my way home I drop into London for a show at Cafe OTO, with my friends from Eddie Prevost's Workshop.
