I am a composer and multi-instrumentalist. I am classically trained and studied jazz for several years. Avant-garde and progressive best describe my musical style and tastes.
I'm hoping to start a jazz fusion group, with influences from avant-garde jazz, contemporary classical music, math rock, and progressive metal.
My avant-garde metal solo project Peculate can be found at:
