Cello Moods & Broods, released in December 2023, contains a collection of beautifully melodic original compositions for Cello duo, trio and quartet and is:
“…a fine reminder of the emotional power of the cello” – All About Jazz
This Entertaining and informative solo cello show is split into two halves.
The first half discusses, through played examples, the changing role of the cello in history from bass instrument to melodic instrument.
The cello is then introduced as a harmonic instrument, much like the guitar, through a new style of cello playing called Arpezzato, a combination of the words ‘Arpeggio’ and ‘Pizzicato’.
Playing examples taken from his solo cello album: Arpezzato Cello, Ivan uses finger techniques imported from the world of Pop/Rock, Blues and Jazz including: ‘hammer-on’, ‘hammer-off’, ‘slide’, ‘pop’, ‘slap’, ‘strum’ and ‘Walking bass’.

The second half builds on those same compositions through the addition of bowed melody and harmony as Ivan performs pieces from Cello Moods & Broods together with virtual versions of himself.
