Well, I’m back on the Celebrity Constellation and as usual, I’m well past due for a weekly update. We’ve been busy sailing between Abu Dhabi and Singapore, playing a lot of Motown, crossover violin shows, a Phil Collins tribute, some swing-style crooner music, and of course a lot of saxo/DJ sets. This itinerary is really […]

posted by Andrew D Meyer
Summer has finished here in the Mediterranean. It’s cooler now and I’m writing this long overdue update from a rainy Sicily. It’s been an interesting summer. I’ve devoted a lot of hours to really focused practicing and have developed some new things. This summer has mostly been about Altissimo, flute doubling, house music, and Aperol […]

Malaysia
posted by Andrew D Meyer
Malaysia is pretty rad. I’ve been to a few different places in the country and they’ve all been pretty different experiences. This country has great beaches, mountains, big cities, temples, and all sorts of good food. The Vatu Caves are not far from Kuala Lumpur and are used as a Hindu religious site. There’s a […]

Brunei — Bandar Seri Begawan
posted by Andrew D Meyer
If you had asked me a year ago where Brunei is I would have had no idea. Hell, a few days ago I had no idea where it is, let alone what goes on there. I think I would have guessed somewhere in the Middle East, with a very desert-y landscape. It turns out that […]
