Description: Silky strings melting a golden soprano sax.

I like the bit with the polyrhythmic woodwind. Did you write it on Stick, by any chance?

Improvisation on piano and tenor sax. I started recording the Piano improvisation. Then I recorded an additional take with my Tenor Sax. All done "in The Zone" utilizing the Hans Zimmer Piano and a 1936 Conn 10m with a Theo Wanne Shiva III 8.

Alto Traverse Flute improvisation as a live-looping session with Mobius. Mobius is an extremely configurable software that lets you do to live sound (read: you playing instruments) what French and American people have been doing since the sixties (as in Musique Conréte, Tape Music) using tape, scissors and glue. It's lovely to be able to instantly compose and catch whatever comes to mind and the instant tape-scissors-glue vibe of Mobius letting you mangle your acoustic sound input like nothing else.

For this piece I recorded the improvisation in Mobius, then exported all loops I had snatched into BitWig where I mixed what you are hearing.

Riccardo Muti leads a wide-ranging program featuring music from Rossini’s witty comic opera Il viaggio a Reims and Wagner’s Overture to Tannhäuser. Also on the program are two virtuosic concertos—one baroque and one contemporary—featuring CSO Piccolo Jennifer Gunn, and Beethoven’s cheerful Second Symphony.

Beautiful You

Khotin - Somehow More Sad

Khotin - Looping Good

This album’s subtitle Abstract Experimental Yet Catchy does well catch the music and concept. Fourteen solo pieces for sax, flute, fretless guitar, and guttural voice noise. Interactive electronics played by feet while the physical instrument is played by hand and mouth. 
Voilà – instant free form electronic Da-Da!

Media composer, performing musician, and Live  Looping artist. 

I compose and produce recordings for media post-production, typically to be used in television, film, games, and work together with a number of production music libraries that handle the licensing. This SoundCloud account mirrors the last three hours of my growing production music catalog. 

A rather new outlet for me is to play solo concerts with the Chapman Stick instrument (profile photo) at churches here in Sweden. 

I'm also a dedicated Live Looping enthusiast. Live Looping is the act of instantly sampling and remixing oneself while playing acoustic/electric instruments. It's like performing live electronics without any prerecorded parts, or like Musique Concrète performed in real-time (rather than cutting and splicing audio tape or editing samples). My point is to create the music as I go - improvising sound as well as music and remix treatments in a process of instant composing. My dream for Live Looping is to bridge the gap between composer, conductor, musician, DJ, and remix artist. 

Besides patching live electronics I also play fretless Harp Guitar, normal Guitar,  Chapman Stick, Alto and Soprano Flutes, Tenor Sax, Soprano Sax, EWI, fretless electric Bass, Lapsteel Guitar, and Electric Cello. I tend to consider the whole shebang my personal "meta-instrument".  Mechanical instruments and electronic processing techniques all blur into one fat and messy palette that I use to paint music on the time canvas.
