Yes it’s true, I’m the cellist featured in numerous segments of Louis C.K.’s brutally hilarious show Louie, in both seasons so far. I composed the cello pieces in the studio based on discussions with Louis about what was needed for a given scene, then used a Boss-RC50 hardware looper to layer cello parts into little vignettes. Unfortunately due to some bureaucratic complications I’m not credited… annoying but what can you do?
Louis is really a pleasure to work with, and puts a lot of care into the music for the show. And the other musicians are also incredible, a great team. Hopefully I’ll be back for next season, and believe me I’ll make sure my name’s on it.
But hey, at least I got this great new quote for my press kit:
‎”The cello player, wish i fucking knew his name, is tremendous.” – Louis C.K.
And if you’d like to hear more of my work, you can find my records here.

Summer was Rome, NYC, Maine, and Tangier. Was happy to record music for Louis C.K.’s TV show, do some very interesting projects with Nettle, a bunch of work with the brilliant Daniel Perlin, and co-produce those Kalup Linzy / James Franco tracks with DJ/Rupture.  And now I’m hiding out in rural France for the Fall… finishing the score for Jamie Hook’s Vacationland, recording my new album, writing a book of music, and practicing a lot of cello.
