Hi Guys!
Just finished first (and only, haha) rehearsal with the legendary Stu Hamm for his show at the Baked Potato next Tuesday night! I'm so excited and honored to be making a guest appearance on a few songs on both acoustic and electric cello- here is one of the tunes- Ave Maria by Bach/Gounod which Gounod wrote the melody over Bach's Prelude No. 1 in C 137 years earlier.
Happy Saturday!
Love
Tina

Hi Guys!
I did a quick cover of the main theme from Making a Murderer here at my home studio in 15 minutes, and wanted to share it with you!

Hi Friends and Patreon Family!
Hope you all had a great weekend! Rambo and I took the weekend off and headed up to Big Bear with Pizza for some relaxation- it's amazing how a 2 hour drive from Los Angeles can feel like a completely different world! Time passed by so slowly, which is a good thing- we ate slowly, took Pizza for lots of walks, ran around the lake, and watched Bohemian Rhapsody (amazing!!) at the local Village Movie Theatre.

Hi Guys!
I've had a lot of requests about this subject and although everyone is different physiologically, I tried my best to give some general tips and advice! The most important thing is to really spend the time to figure what works best for your particular body and yourself as there is no such thing as one-size-fits all!
This was filmed on the new Zoom Q2n-4K that I just got last night, and was so excited to use it! Even though it shoots in 4K, I chose to shoot in 1080 mod...

Hi Guys!
Hope you're all having a great Saturday. I just finished doing my own set design shopping and styling for my upcoming God of War Music Video which will be released along with the Single this Fall!
My amazing friend Frank Klepacki produced the track and also recorded the drums/guitar/bass. It's a slightly heavier/more industrial metal rendition of the amazing main theme by 2018-09-30 02:51:38 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi Friends!
I just did a bit of improv on the cello from my home studio, hope you enjoy it and are having a great Monday and start to your week!
Last week, Rambo and I adopted a new puppy- a Black Goldendoodle named Pizza. So far, she is not a fan of my cello playing (she runs away and hides by the laundry hamper in the bathroom!) but hopefully she'll grow to like it, haha! She's 9 weeks old and I'm grateful for the exercise she's giving me, running after her.
