Look What I Made - DIY indie music podcast with Kevin Pike

Contemporary Classical composition for saxophone quartet and banjo

Cavaco banjo and tenor sax in a Bossa Nova style duet.

Funky instrumental track with the unusual pairing of baritone saxophone and banjo

This song combines child vocals, playing a guitar using a credit card as a pick, alto and baritone saxes, mandolin and glockenspiel.

This song captures the emotion of isolation and then reemergence experienced during the pandemic. It's a combination of free jazz and through-composed music. One interesting technique used on this track was to edit together didgeridoo and upright bass for the bass line. The didgeridoo starts off most phrases in the bass part, then gives way to the upright bass.
