John describes his solo work as “minimalist ambient looped clarinet” (sometimes with percussion & dancing) He recently played a solo set at the Morris museum in Augusta.
He references parallels with Brian Eno’s Discreet Music – where there are stacked non-synchronous loops. He is also very influenced by bird sounds, and bird song-like sounds can be heard during his set as well as being influenced by modal Indian music (which is John’s ethnic background) – where the music fully develops all the possibilities in a certain musical key.
More information about John can be found on his Wikipedia page here:

John also runs a record label, Cloud Recordings whose website and Bandcamp page are here:

He has been in projects that opened for Beck & Stereolab. and even opened for R.E.M. at Chastain in Atlanta. Another group Supercluster, (which features members of Pylon & The New Sound of Numbers), opened on a tour for The B-52’s.
