Ohh, a powerful performance with the Chapman Stick – very groovy
and driving. The title "Splitting Atoms" suggests a technique that
humanity "learned" or "discovered" in the 20th century – and that
changed everything.

I especially love your minimalist look in front of the window – simply
with the Chapman Stick. It's a real treat. Well done, that also fits
the "Tiny desk"!

Very nice! I tried to play the Stick a while back... and then decided that I was already mediocre at 2 instruments, so I should rein it in.

jcub,
Sounds cool! Certain portions remind me of Tony Levin (a compliment).
