Much of my artistic practice focuses on composing and performing with my favorite instrument, a 1960s Magnus vintage toy organ. First bought on eBay, I love this instrument for its unique sound and tuning, and allows me to engage and seek the creative potential of physical disability.
Please see below for samples of work on the organ, including several collaborative works. For performance inquiries please contact directly.
