Improvisation / Collaborations

I view improvisation as an important part of my identity. Much of my work as a composer (and interpreter) flows from a state of improvisation. I try to make my compositions feel improvised and my improvisations feel composed. The two sides influence and feed each other. I owe this notion to my work with Betsy Soukup and Ben Willis - two of my favorite people to play with. Be sure to check out Betsy and Ben's respective websites for more of their work as well as the projects listed here.
