I’ve enjoyed contribut­ing record­ings to several scores by my friend Bryce Dessner over the past few years, includ­ing She Came to Me and We Live in Time. You can hear my Bösendor­fer on two recent projects, both of which seem to have struck a nerve (though perhaps with differ­ent audi­ences): the Denis Johnson adap­ta­tion Train Dreams, and the series Love Story, about the rela­tion­ship of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.

Above, the final scene of Train Dreams, from a screen­ing of the film with live music which I performed with Bryce and the Wordless Music Orches­tra, as well as a disem­bod­ied Nick Cave, in January.
