Recordings
Live Performances
As of late I have started to actually post what I am doing on my Instagram. I'm trying to get in the habit of posting not only past performances, but upcoming as well. Will I ever get adept at social media, probably not. I am improving however.
All other stuff tends to be posted to the following YouTube account.
Collaborative Work
While live performances are definitely collaborative, I'm going to try and focus on recordings I have done with others in a more studio setting.
"Kick it to Me" - Sammy Rae and the Friends, as recorded by myself and some fellow musicians from the area.
New World Jazz Ensemble - Santa Barbara City College
Blues After Dark - Solos: Me - Alto Sax, Sergio Rodriguez - Trumpet, Matt Krepky - Tenor Sax, Grey Ingersoll - Trombone, & David Struven - Piano
Bedouin - Solos: David Struven - Piano, Matt Krepky - Tenor Sax, Julian Littlehale - Bass
Angel Eyes - Solos: Matt Krepky - Tenor Sax, Sergio Rodriguez - Trumpet, Grey Ingersoll - Trombone
A Train, a Banjo and a Chicken Wing - Solos: Sergio Rodriguez - Trumpet, Me - Alto Sax, Grey Ingersoll - Trombone
Individual Work
Sometimes musical inspiration comes from the most unlikely of places, like a math/art assignment gone awry, late at night, with only a rough melodic idea and a need to get a good grade.
Circles. A song written for a homework assignment, inspired by something deeply sad in my life. Got 50/40 on the project, so I guess that balances things out.
Non-Orientable Solids. I couldn't come up with a solid way to tie into mathematical ideas for this song, so I let math determine the chord progression. What resulted was one of the weirdest progression I have ever tried to play over. Got 45/40.
Everything Else
I am pretty regularly playing around Ventura County, much of that is uploaded to the YouTube channel I previously mentioned.
