About Me

Collaborator, Improviser, Guitarist, Percussionist, Recording Engineer, Noise Enthusiast...I'm currently living in Los Angeles, California attending the University of Southern California, working on my Doctorate in Jazz/Studio Guitar. I toured the midwest/east coast with my fusion trio EN2 from 2004-2006, and have also performed with Andrew Paul Woodworth, The Max Allen Band, Rob Dixon and Triology, The Twin Cats, Deep Fat, and others - ranging from hip hop, funk, trance and spoken word to avant garde and minimalism. In 2007 I released my second solo album of songs, Dragonfly, which is available at www.cdbaby.com/robertcoates2. Also check out EN2 on archive.org for past live shows. I'm currently trying to find artistic people to work with for large scale events involving art, music and other things. Yea, and I'm a vegetarian.
