Every now and then, I'll come home from work and film myself on Photo Booth to see if my embouchure and form are ok. This has helped me adapt to motor issues I developed after contracting focal dystonia in my right hand in 2012. You can see the video that this was ripped from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMn893cuNVw.

Welcome to my SoundCloud page. This is a mess of original compositions, recordings, trumpet solos, rough drafts/works in progress, midi mockups, electroacoustic experiments, and educational materials/exercises I developed over the years. They’re posted in no particular order and cover several genres including jazz, classical, funk, orchestral, rock, drum 'n' bass, fusion, Latin, R&B, metal, country, world, and electronica. Hope you enjoy.

Attention visitors,
For more than seven years, a hacker has set my follower count to the number of the beast, 666. I've notified SoundCloud management and the police about this bizarre crime on several occasions, but neither party has followed through with a solution. Let it be known that although I am an atheist, I do not now, nor have I ever had any interest or connection to satanism, witchcraft, voodoo, occultism, or whatever foul ideologies my persecutors will have you believe I condone.
