Band to Join.ABOUT
"Saxophone" in "Instruments played" is something of a misnomer; I sold my sax (alto) ages ago. These days I use a WX5/VL70m-Turbo wind synth system. It provides astoundingly realistic and responsive saxophones as well as flutes, trumpets, and other brass and woodwinds. (I once asked a talented flautist for technique tips; after listening to one of my recordings he said, "if I didn't know it was synth'd, I wouldn't have thought it was.")
I was previously playing with two local bands (bass with a little keyboard and vocals in one, keyboards with a little bass, vocals, and wind synth in the other). When one band lost its drummer and the other their singer/front man, the remnants merged to form one five to seven member group (depending on availability). I love playing with Green Giant, but I'm always open to jamming on blues/funk/jazz/prog/neo-prog/symphonic rock or exploring ambient and experimental genres. (Speaking of prog/neo-prog, anyone interested in covering a little Pink Floyd/RPWL/Yogi Lang/etc. is definitely invited to get in touch.)

A brief wind synth demo emulating an alto sax. I was trying for a funky Everette Harp tone and feel on this one.
