☯️ Holistic Horn Ep. 17 - Brian KM: The Electronic Hornist
Innovative electronic horn player Brian KM joins us for a wildly inspiring episode about creativity, self-presentation, persistence, and carving your own path in the brass world.
Brian has performed across Australia, Canada, and the U.S., directed the Melbourne Rainbow Band, toured internationally with his multimedia shows, and previously served as principal horn of the U.S. Pacific Fleet Band (150–200 gigs a year).
In this podcast, we cover:
- How Brian built a thriving career through proactivity, self-producing, and constant creativity
- Why "everyone deserves a no”
- His philosophy of being the ocean, not the wall: finding pathways around obstacles
- The realities behind touring and residencies
- His simple, athletic warm-up (why boring fundamentals matter)
- The gear + setup behind his horn/electronics performances
If you're curious about alternative career paths, overcoming fear, or expanding your creativity, this episode is for you.
