Musical Style and Philosophy
Most of the music I play these days is experimental/improvisational. My approach doesn't focus primarily on groove and rhythm, but rather is on the minimalist side using conventional and experimental methods and tools to bring-out colors and textures from my instruments, with great consideration given to the context, energy and environment of the given moment- and with great respect devoted to each participant's voice.
