Bio & education

Albert Avery writes percussion, designs sound, and works in music technology.

By day he is a technical customer support specialist at Universal Audio, helping musicians and engineers get the most out of their gear. The rest of his time goes to arranging and sound design for marching and indoor percussion - from front ensemble writing to full production design and live electronics.

His focus is bridging technology, music, and education: writing that serves the ensemble in front of him, built for the room it plays in, and shaped to land with the people watching.
