Reposting on main because I'm just so damn proud of what we've built in such a short amount of time with the Collective.
(btw if you do graphic design PLZ shoot me a dm)
I don’t post a lot of clips of me playing anymore these days - so here’s a fun one: a clip of Vicki and I's arrangement of Arvo Pärt's "Spiegel im Spiegel"
Now that the studio welcome emails and signed contracts have all been sent out, and my laptop connects to the campus wifi, I think it's safe to announce that I will be teaching both percussion and composition at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, GA this year! Not just applied lessons, but I'll also be teaching methods the UWG Percussion Ensemble, and working with and writing music for the UWG Marching Band, too! This is an exciting opportunity to work with some really fantastic students, and I definitely appreciate the folks who helped make this happen.
Since it's that time of year... Happy to say I've accepted an adjunct percussion position at Jacksonville State University. I'm still in Atlanta, but just expanding to another time zone a couple times a week.
have you ever thought to yourself? man, it’s the end of May/beginning of June, where did all the contemporary music shows go? me too! thankfully, I’m an idiot and I’m producing 3 completely different shows across 3 days at 3 unique venues and I will be very brave about it. details for each show in the photos but here we go:
