Johnathan Moore in the WNHH FM studio.
Johnathan Moore was ready to add a layer of sound. He reached for the Boss RC 600 loop station pedal and … nothing.
Moore said nothing. He made no excuses. He kept the beat going. He pivoted to a new plan — and the music played on.
Moore, a 26-year-old cellist making a name for himself as a composer and performer, was performing his piece“Glory” while squished behind the tiny-tiny-tiniest-possible-tiny desk on WNHH FM’s“Acoustic Thursday @ Studio 51” program. (Click on the above video to watch the full episode.) Moore describes his music as“unorthodox cello,” with a style incorporating gospel, jazz, classical, and funk.
