Since 1996 I have been playing a Parker Fly Classic. In 2003 I acquired an Acoustic Image Clarus 2R amplifier and a Raezer’s Edge Twin 8 Tower speaker cabinet. (All featured on our CD: Kafka Pony, the Music of Mastaneh Nazarian).

Working with the guitar leads me to observe various ways about how (and who) I am and how I function. Composing is a very integral part of this process as are: (this is the short list...).

-Daily practice

-Yoga

-Learning and discovering about other arts

-Listening

-Cooking

-Swimming

and

-The Alexander Technique

The most important thing that I am learning is to take it a day at a time and not try to fit every aspect of practice in a single session. And of course, to have fun and keep it musical - whether it's scales or a tune.
