So - a few years ago a friend of mine, Mike Barnett, who is a very interesting composer, asked me if I would perform and record some violin tracks for a project he was working in called “Terminal Degree”. Mike is a composer who works in a serious art music style, but is also an avid metal fan, and Terminal Degree is his brainchild, a unique fusion of progressive rock, metal, classical and jazz elements. I enjoyed the project very much but be warned - this isn’t for the faint of heart. Excelsior!
