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 (Detroi), The Mockbee (Cincinnati), Spaces Gallery (Cleveland), and a number of university concert halls (Butler, Western Michigan, St Cloud State, Mansfield University, among others). We have also released 4 of our tunes on 2 separate EPs.

I perform primarily on laptop, using custom patches written in Max, though for our project Pillars of Decay, I sometimes join Trevor as a second percussionist. Composers Amanda Schoofs and Matt Sargent have also contributed to Pillars.
