Without a sense of humor you're better off dead-Roger Rabbit

About Me

I am an American composer, improviser and percussionist born on February 20, 1972. I was raised in Dearborn Heights, Michigan and began performing at the age of eight. In 2000, I graduated with a B.A. in Music Composition from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. In the past ten years, members of the Trummerflora Collective, Detroit Symphony, Pontiac Oakland Symphony and Camarada Ensemble have premiered my compositions. In 1999 I relocated to Vienna, Austria and later the following year I was invited to study at Carnegie Hall in New York City for a seminar led by Pierre Boulez. I have studied composition as well as classical and African percussion techniques at Henry Ford Community College, Interlochen Arts Academy and Oakland University thus affording me the luxury to utilize a wide variety of possibilities when composing and improvising. I am currently living in Southern California and remain an active member ASCAP, a member of the Trummerflora Collective, Artistic Director for the new music concert series called New Sounds Downtown in San Diego, California, a composer/performer in the Glatter/Hubbard Percussion Duo, an affiliated member of the Center for the Promotion of Contemporary Composers and a writer for the San Diego New Music Newsletter.for up to date information go to www.castorandpolluxmusic.com/glatterhubbard or www.trummerflora.com/about
