Recruiting for Experimental Music Group To Stretch Boundaries
If you believe that a musician is more than a technician
That there is something outside the notation and measures
and confines of the music that must be explored
And you believe there are forms of performance that are yet to be created
Things that might combine many art forms into one
New instrumentation
New forms of interaction between the instruments
New integrations between musicians, instruments and computer or smartphone apps
That maybe there are ways to present information alongside the music
So as to communicate ideas or philosophies or even humor
(This is being put together randomly like this, because I'm not sure it can be expressed otherwise). If this sounds like something you'd like to explore, maybe we could chat or share some musical / artistic ideas?
You can contact me through the contact form on this page or through Twitter @Lee_Chazen
My musical background
I've performed on French Horn with the following groups at one point or another....
Cheyenne Symphony, Fort Collins Symphony, Faculty Brass Quintet (as undergrad at Colorado State), CSU Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Diablo Symphony, Napa Symphony, Zephyrus Brass Quintet, Carson Chamber Orchestra, Reno Philharmonic, Sierra Nevada Wind Orchestra.
Here is another sample -- rough, sketchy, altered, experimental as well (1st 40 seconds or so should give you a good idea. After that... not so good).
The selections below are just some things that seem cool. . . but I'm open to way more.

Oh... and just scored some space at HackerLab for practice sessions and recordings!

An Introduction To GliderCell
If you're ready for it.
If you get it.
If it sounds like you... then let's get the conversation started.
The thing I'm working on is that -- we all want a better opportunity -- to participate, to do something more, to do better. But, if you are creative or "differently intelligent," you may not want to waste time and ideas on meaningless or unfulfilling projects. You want to do something where you can apply your talents. Most jobs don't let us do that and, on occasion, they actually discourage you from getting too creative! What?
We are talking about a loose collaboration of dedicated and diversely talented or uniquely skilled people coming together to take on new projects. We are envisioning working together in a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).

New "Sway" Portfolio
I finally finished my new portfolio using Sway.
I'm very happy with the results and how easy it is to drag and drop, import content from anywhere and share the final product. When you finish whatever project you're working on, you can easily post on Docs.com. From there, you just copy the embed code and post anywhere -- like right here, for example.
If you come across this post and see something that lines up with what you're doing, let's talk. I basically work on creative content production across all disciplines.
Outside of creative projects, I specialize in designing educational programs. And, more specific than that, I work on visualizing new system designs for companies, startups, classrooms and schools. Thanks for dropping by!

Music as Metaphor
Music as metaphor
Dissonance at the beginning
Things are forming
The primordial ooze, if you will
The conductor pushes and molds
The corps responds
Everyone listening
Blending
Building
Forming
Then... wait for it...
Power Chords!
A perfect blend of sound, vibration, emotion and humanity!
(start at 54 seconds)

HikeStorming II -- The Sequel -- Remixed for Greater Meaning and Impact (we hope)
This is a remixed / improved pitch video for the #ShootTheFuture project. The TV concept is about people rising up all over the world to offer real solutions to actual problems. It is based on the idea that "people in motion, " i.e. moving on trails, hiking or on urban hikes can help them to generate good thinking and a sense of belonging and empowerment. Hiking + Brainstorming = HikeStorming. The full slide how is here. http://bit.ly/29IP07f
