Wytold layers percussive bowing and melodic finger-picking on the cello. Two extra strings on Wytold's electric cello allow his music to capture the depth and power of a stand-up bass, the rich tonal timbre normally associated the cello, and the bright crispness of violin solos and harmonies. Wytold records these sounds live on both electric and acoustic cellos to create his own rock-orchestral accompaniment on stage. Wytold recently received a Young Artist Grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH) which helped fund the production of Wytold's first solo album: "When Fulvio Finds Celeste".
