Quintasonic Brass's video of Pentacle, by Jason Dovel.
One of the toughest pieces I've recorded! Eighth note = 344, high D, lots of flexibility...lots of fun!!! Quintasonic Brass is: Vince DiMartino/Jason Dovel, trumpets; me, horn; Alex van Duuren; trombone Alex Lapins, tuba

No more distractions.

Justice for Epstein’s victims.

Cool to have been named by audition a finalist for the 4th horn position of the Des Moines Metro Opera (summer orchestra)! I didn’t win the job, but feedback like that is always encouraging! 👍🏼👍🏼

I feel like just listening to Stewart Copeland's isolated drum tracks on songs by The Police are in themselves private lessons for all musicians, no matter the instrument. Your inner pulse is strengthened just from hearing his amazing time, grooves, and sound.

People used to sit at home and listen to music without doing other things at the same time

Some music from just about my favorite Maxime-Alphonse etude transposed to Bb on the road today. Playing fundamentals in a parking garage takes me back to my time at UMKC. 🙌🏼
