Saxophone (tenor/alto) is my primary instrument, but clarinet/bass clarinet, flute, keys, and guitar are all strong secondaries. I’ve been playing for over 20 years, professionally for 10. These days I spend a lot of time producing, mixing, composing/scoring, doing studio recording work (both as a musician and engineer) but I’m looking to ramp back up the number of live gigs I’m doing. I also have experience doing live electronics work involving ableton, synths, and pedals (in addition to the above instruments). Let me know if you’re interested in linking up!
