Working With Others
- How I Work:
If I like, I play. I dislike many things! I hate simplistic views of music. Even if I am well educated(!),I rather play directly then read and learn parts. I love free jazz.
- Experience:
Head of Electroacoustic research in Canada for years with ACREQ. Many concerts and recordings in radio and TV. Many prize and submission works by National Art Council. My compositions are published by the Canada Music Center as an associate Composer. Now, semi-retired, playing for pure fun, heavy experimental jazz.
