Guest, Clayton Haslop
Though the name Clayton Haslop is by no means a household name, his artistry as a violinist has been enjoyed by millions through his work as concertmaster and solo violinist on numerous highly successful films and soundtracks. Amongst them are Avatar, Titanic (James Horner, composer), Ratatouille, Up (Michael Giacchino, composer), The Matrix quadrilogy (Don Davis, composer), and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Alexander Desplat, composer). Concurrent with this activity have been stints as concertmaster of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, The Los Angeles Opera, and many other ensembles around the United States.
Coming from a musically minded family, Clayton began the study of violin at age 8 and, at 20, was invited by Sir Neville Marriner to give 6 enthusiastically received performances around California as soloist with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. Other early accomplishments included being accepted as a private student by legendary 20th century violinist Nathan Milstein, an experience that influenced his artistic development for many years.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending how one looks at it, life as a first-call Hollywood recording artist and freelance concert violinist was not to last. In his late 30’s Mr. Haslop began noticing small, aberrant movements in the ring finger of his left hand. Over time, as the loss of control became increasingly unmanageable, it became clear that the issue was a neurological “over use” injury known as Focal Dystonia, or FD.
How Clayton managed to overcome this all too frequently career ending development is the primary focus of discussion in upcoming interview. It is a fascinating story with a surprising ending, I think, that will interest many of our listeners.
Life Changes Show
Come and join the conversation about what's going on and what we can do together about it, with it, and for it. We have the choice, we have the power. We can do magic if we just believe!
A show about the changes going on in us, to us, around us, and because of us. Therefore, it's technically a show about "Everything," only with a how to make it better, see it better, be better.
In the show, there is talk about, and with, people who have either been through major changes, are helping others with major changes, or people who are changing the world for the better in a major way.
The show is a one-hour talk show format with a monologue by the host, a 30 minute interview with a guest of note, capped by a "Producer's Wrap" segment, in which Filippo and Co-Host Mark Laisure, and sometimes surprise guests, bring it all home for the listeners in a sometimes humorous and sometimes touching, but always entertaining conversation.
