“There’s a monkey in your brain and I’m trying to play with it”

Keaton Garrett is a collaborative composer and saxophonist based in Michigan. His work is informed by his experiences performing in chamber and large ensembles as a classical saxophonist, while also being influenced by whatever he is listening to at the moment as well as his queer disposition. His musical grammar is dynamic from work to work but at its core synthesizes concepts of symbiosis between performer/composer, timbre, texture, line, and audible/tangible processes.
