Website Design

Though I wouldn’t call myself a web designer, I have built a number of websites over the past many years that I think are worth checking out. Most importantly, I have a major part in the organization, design, and launch of each client’s webpage, guiding them through the process of displaying their work at its…

Drummer / Percussionist / Tech

If there’s anything I’m qualified to do, it’s percussionings. All the percussions are belong to us. But seriously, I’ve been playing drums since I was 9 years old. I would play concert and marching bands at school, and 90s rock drumset at home. At 14, I got into a metal band with the local college…

Mixing / Mastering / Noise Reduction

Engraving / Transcribing / Arranging

Since 2000, I have been using notation software to engrave scores at a professional level for my own compositions and those of my colleagues. After some time I developed a talent for notating rhythmically dense music and graphic scores with great beauty and precision. Many years later, I started work as the executive copyist for…

Editing / Overdubs / Retakes / Comps / Tuning

When I’m done, everything is in it’s right place and the artist is always pleased. Whether it be score-following, marking…

Recording (In-House & On-Site)

I’ve been recording music since 2003. I worked as a staff engineer at Louisiana State University where I captured hundreds of classical recitals and major academic concerts throughout the years. After I finished my bachelor’s degrees, I attended Manhattan School of Music where I did similar work, recording live orchestras, large chamber ensembles, and solo…

Producer / Conductor / Instrumental Coach

I have worked on dozens of albums as a producer, chamber music coach, conductor, and general artistic director; helping people of all ages make their art a reality. As a performer and audio engineer, I’ve prepared pieces for major classical labels like Innova, New Amsterdam, Cantaloupe, Cat Crisis, and New World Records. My experience as…

The Weight of Change (2023)

Brett William Dietz premieres my solo game piece, The Weight of Change, for drum and coins. Based on Brett’s previous homes’ street numbers, the performer rips out a serious of rhythmic phrases before the coin falls.

Badwater Basin – Alexandre Lunsqui (2022)

Greg Chudzik performs this upright bass masterpiece that makes incredible use of this giant instrument with virtuosic interplay between the right and left hands. Utilizing wooden dowels, triangle beaters, a guitar pick, and bow, Lunsqui creates a unique sound world that Chudzik champions with attitude and ease.

For inverted snare drum, crotales, tuning forks, and audio looper, In Modifier Keys explores the extended sound world of a snare drum as a noise resonator with a 6-channel output.
