About Me



I play saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet, some trumpet and some guitar, and change all of those things with the Max/MSP. I'm originally from southeast Florida. I lived in Gainesville, FL (4 years) and Washingon D.C. (4 mths) before moving to Chicago, IL where I lived for 6 good years and was able to play alot of music with alot of good people. I moved out west to Oakland California in August of 2005.
On this page you'll be able to hear some of my music, for more check out aramshelton.com
