Here is a recording of Fantasie in D Minor by W.A. Mozart I did in preparation for my recital in late March.
On The Radio, a rap Monday, Sep 5 2011
Friends and Fun and Music Music, on the radio, rap 1:47 pm
Though quite a far-cry from previous projects, I present On The Radio, my latest track. It is a collaboration between myself (“Ill Sash”) and my friend Matt (“Biji M.”), a talented musician and producer. In recent years I’ve become much more interested in hip-hop music after being introduced to the genre by my current roommate Yaakov. Making this rap was a great pleasure, and I hope this is the first of many.
Many thanks to Biji for his hard work in the recording and, especially, the mixing phases of On The Radio. Enjoy!
PS: It can be downloaded in mp3 format by clicking the down arrow button to the right of the track.

The Paths I Call Home Friday, May 15 2009
Art and Nature and Photography Capilano, Forest, Murdo Fraser, Nature, Photography 7:02 am
Today, I took a walk down memory lane, actually memory trail. After being so taken by the beautiful natural scenery on Vancouver Island this weekend I decided to walk the paths of my youth with my Canon A590 in hand. Namely, I trekked through Murdow Fraser Park and the Capilano Woods.
Yellowpoint Lodge Monday, May 11 2009
Art and Books and Family and Holidays and Life and Photography Catcher in the Rye, Island, Job Search, Nature, Resume, Yellowpoint 4:27 pm
This weekend I went on a picturesque excursion to Yellowpoint Lodge near Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Needless to say, there was more than my fair share of natural beauty to be admired and adored. It was a lovely way to get back into the West Coast groove and reinforce what makes BC so unique in Canada. I had a great time with the family and hope my mom had an amazing Mother’s Day.
