Alex has invented an instrument called the Electric Djembe. Using African Djembes, Ethnic Percussion, Shure Wireless Mics and custom Guitar F-X Pedals and Loop Boxes allows him to create sounds that range from drum machine emulation to ambient keyboard pads and washes.

These sounds are perfect for singer/songwriter trios or movie soundtracks.

These are totally analog organic sounds never heard before and create a terrific atmospheric vibe.

His unique blend of hand percussion and guitar effects pedals can be heard on television and film soundtracks, which he composes through

his company, Perpetual Motion Productions.
