Recording during a chamber music recital on March 2nd, 2010.

Or on facebook (which I think looks/sounds better):

Grinnell College, 3/7/2010

This is my first ever poster. Kind of excited about this one, I should get it framed.

Also, I just like to say that Grinnell has a beautiful campus and a really great hall. Probably the best place I’ve played in so far. They did do a video recording of me which they’ll sync up with the hall’s sound recording. Hopefully there will be some good youtube videos from that!

Drake University, 3/6/2010

Programs from my recital at Drake.

Western Illinois University Recital, 3/4/2010

Christopher — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:04:56 +0000

Apparently I’m bad at keeping programs clean looking. Whoops!

Chamber Music Recital, 3/2/2010

Christopher — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:55:44 +0000

This program program was mostly about my friend Seth, but I helped out on the first two pieces.

Slur Etude

Here’s a short Etude I wrote to work on slurs: Etude No. 2 (PDF)

JS Bach: Sarabande, BWV 995

Christopher — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 03:49:44 +0000

From an earlier recording. But this is with facebook video. Seems like the sound quality is much better.

JS Bach: Lute Suite in a minor, BWV 995

JS Bach: Lute Suite in a-mi (orig. c-mi), BWV 995 (Christopher Davis, guitar) from Christopher Davis on Vimeo.

Recorded today as a practice run, “performing.” I’ll say this: it’s definitely different playing for a camera vs. playing for nothing. There are a few flubs. Overall I’m happy with the tempos and interpretation, I just wish the entire thing was cleaner. About three weeks until concerts, however, so it should be in good shape by then!

Thames Guitar Comparison

Christopher — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:05:20 +0000

Three Thames guitars, one piece and one player. Trying to see how different each guitar is.

Guitar one: 2009 Cedar/Indian rosewood
Guitar two: 2007 Cedar/Brazilian rosewood
Guitar three: 2010 Double top (spruce outside, cedar inside)/Brazilian rosewood

All have the same treble strings, Galli Carbons, but different basses.
