In addition to studio work, sub-ins, and one-off stuff of all descriptions, I participate in a handful of regular projects, all of varying genres and stylistic challenges. In alphabetical order:
Apparatus
Apparatus is an experimental performance art / free jazz ensemble that I assembled to explore compositional devices and themes.
We are a collective of about a dozen musicians, normally performing as a septet. The group is currently on hiatus while I compose new material. Please contact me if you'd like a copy of our CD release.
Arctic - www.projectarctic.com
In the fall of 2007 I joined Vancouver band ARCTIC. Our latest CD "Today Brought Me Here" (recorded before I joined the band) was released in September 2007. ARCTIC performs regularly at venues across Canada.
Maria in the Shower - www.mariaintheshower.com
Music with a dose of theatre - words alone cannot describe the quirky tunes and live antics of Maria in the Shower. It must be experienced to be understood, but understanding isn't entirely the objective. Having a good time is what it's all about, and that's a promise Maria always keeps.
Sudanda - www.myspace.com/sudanda
I play percussion and drumset for Vancouver-based North African ensemble Sudanda. Led by Ala'aeldin Abdalla, the repertoire comprises both ancient traditional songs from Darfour and new compositions.
