In my travels as a saxophonist and woodwind player, composer, teacher, arranger, producer/engineer, plus as a performer in films, TV and in theater, I've worked all over the globe; the one career highlight has to be playing in the remote Star Mountain highlands of Papua New Guinea 900 miles from the nearest road, at an arts festival with 30 different local tribes including Marlboro smoking mud men and (alledged) cannibals.

Check out the Band page and some of the groups I've worked with, and listen to some music samples. My latest project is composing music for educational settings; jazz ensemble and concert band music for middle and high school groups. Nine tunes are available now on iTunes under Tim Otto & Harmony Hall, and the charts will be published and available in 2012.
Meanwhile, here's one of my etudes for clarinet; sheet-music for free download:
