About me:

I started as a clarinetist playing classical music, and took up saxophone, studied jazz and composition, then continued to try and learn other instruments, focusing on the jews harp in particular. I perform many styles of music today, and also like to do audio engineering when I have the chance. Here are the regular bands I currently play in: The Guy Mendilow Ensemble - website

• features jews harp, overtone singing, berimbau, amidst a multi-ethnic mix of influences.

• A 10+ piece Afrobeat and funk/groove ensemble. Less relevant to this community I guess, but still a fun band.

Instruments:

jews harp, clarinet sax, flute, mbira, percussion, many misc instruments.

Influences:

(some, in no order...): Stravinsky, Poulenc, Don Byron, Stan Getz, Graham Wiggins, John Zorn, Zappa, Monk, Pink Floyd, Glen Velez, Bela Fleck, Dexter Gordon, traditional music from all over the world, more.
