He has also offered accompaniment to singer-songwriters and other solo artists.

Alex Alexander invented an instrument called the Electric Djembe, using African djembes, ethnic percussion, Shure wireless microphones, and custom Guitar F-X pedals and loop boxes, Alex creates sounds that range from drum machine emulation to ambient keyboard pads and washes. These sounds are perfect for everything from singer/songwriter trios to movie soundtracks. These are totally analog organic sounds that have never been heard before and create a terrific atmospheric vibe.
