Clifford Dunn

About Me

I'm a flutist and composer living in Seattle, WA, USA. I improvise, and work in collaboration with other artists for creation of new works of art.
Recently finished a second masters degree in music and technology at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Utrecht.
I lived in Amsterdam for three years, and London for three months. Now I'm back in the USA, but in reality would rather be in Europe.
Looking for various artists/composers/performers/improvisers to work with. Contact me via this page!
