Skewed and Such at Spectrum NYC

bandcamp Skewed and Such is my duo with percussionist and glockenspiel-specialist Trevor Saint. We have co-composed a number of pieces together and performed our material at venues including Spectrum NYC, Inova Gallery (Milwaukee), The Vault (Buffalo), PASIC Technology Day, Silo City (Buffalo), Andy Gallery (Detroit), The Mockbee (Cincinnati), Spaces Gallery (Cleveland), and a number of university concert halls (Butler, Western Michigan, St Cloud State, Mansfield University, among others).

Our largest collaborative project is Pillars of Decay, a concert of music for custom instruments built using salvaged metals. That project includes original works created by our duo, along with works by composers Matt Sargent and Amanda Schoofs. Many of the listed works below were created for that project.
