Hi, I'm Sebastian. I created this website.

I love playing the asalato, and learning about its wonderful culture. I have been playing the asalato since 2019.

In 2024, I competed in ASALATO NIGHT Asalato Freestyle Battle vol. 22 in Kyoto, Japan, where I advanced to the top 8. In 2025, I competed in the WORLD ONLINE ASALATO BATTLE vol. 2, where I advanced to the top 4. I have also played the asalato in live settings with my band woodwork.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor's degree in Music Studies (Music Education) in 2025, with concert percussion as my primary instrument.

My more well-known work is as a composer of concert music, largely for percussion.
