Multi-instrumentalist Ken Field is a saxophonist, flutist, percussionist, and composer. Since the late '80s, Field has plied his trade in the experimental ensemble Birdsongs of the Mesozoic. He appears on a few of their releases and has toured extensively with the group. His solo discography beings with Subterranea (O.O.Discs), which exhibits multi-tracked saxophone improvisations. Field recorded this project largely in a Roswell, NM, underground chamber. He performed for President Bill Clinton, appears on Peter Wolf's Longline (Reprise, 1996), and has been a composer-in-residence on both sides of the Atlantic. Ken Field composes music for animation, film, and video. His music is heard regularly on the Sesame Street television show. HBO, The Movie Channel, and PBS have used his soundtrack compositions. Field performs and records with the Bad Art Ensemble, the Chandler Travis Philharmonic, Willie Loco Alexander, and leads the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble, a horn and percussion festival band. ~ Tom Schulte, Rovi
