087 - Tim Feeney

Visiting Megan at Mizzou, and joining us this week, is Tim Feeney: player, composer, and improviser.  His unstable soundscapes have earned him performances at many avant garde venues, as well as several recording opportunities.

Tim has played on Broadway, worldwide as an interpreter of contemporary music, and locally as the principal percussionist of the Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra. He is an Assistant Professor of Percussion at the University of Alabama.
