Jonathon Wilcke

I play the saxophone, along with a selection of whistles, tubes, and string instruments, in a variety of musical situations involving free and/or structured improvisation. I'm a very inventive musician and see invention as a mode of interrogation and investigation of my immediate social environment and as a way to maintain the integrity of my intellect and psychology against advertising, official rhetoric, and self-help gurus. In addition to playing the saxophone, I work in an extended field of "performance writing" that combines music + writing (including poetry by other writers as well as a variety of critical texts) using strategies of improvisation.you can see more of my work at www.wilcke.ca
