HaZMaT Bio
HaZMaT is composed of Matt Henry, who teaches at the University of Missouri/St. Louis and Thomas Zirkle, who teaches at St. Louis CommunityCollege/Forest Park. They will be performing in Changsha, China in July of 2010.
HaZMaT was formed in 2005 out of a desire by its two members to explore many different types of percussion at a professional level. The duo has spent the intervening years performing often and composing/experimenting its way into a large repertoire that combines:
- Modern classical percussion
- World music
- Found objects
- Original compositions
- And collaborations with sculptors and inventors.
