Simon Allen
Simon is well known for having a greatly expanded sonic palette. Beyond the tools of a percussionist’s training his instrumental resource incorporates several instruments of his own design and includes Glass Harmonica, Hammered Dulcimer, Musical Saw, Bass Harmonica and many non western sounds. Initially this emerged through collaboration and study with artists from Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Egypt, Japan, Iran and continued in collaborations with many new music composers. Currently less active in non-western music, the experiences of work in that area now mix with his classical training and digital techniques, into a unique artistic voice. Checkout his website to se the phenomenal amount of work Simon has composed/performed.
Simon currently has a Schunda Concert Grand Cimbalom and a specially comissioned Maestro Dulcimer for sale. The instrument has a 'Sun' soundhole and an external frame.
