A five-part suite for jazz sextet, recorded live before a studio audience, featuring a freewheeling, improvisatory aesthetic but also rigorous compositional detail.

An improvising collective crafting compositions orbiting around the gravity of groove. An electro-acoustic communion creating catharsis through waves of space, waves of sonic dialogue ranging from distant whispered echoes to gritty growling ruckus.

 A five-part suite for guitar and bass where the acoustic performance is augmented by the addition of turntables, MPC1000, samplers and the intertwined recordings of literary giant James Baldwin. The result is an intense amalgam of consonance

and texture; tradition and innovation.

“His aesthetic evokes old blues, Americana, Tin Pan Alley, bebop, and further frontiers. There’s a rule-breaking spirit but also an impeccable rigor, a foundation of sheer chops and knowledge, that put Hofbauer in the top tier of guitarists.” - David R. Adler

"Situating the last century’s classical music and classic jazz in the same modernist continuum.”

- Kevin Whitehead, NPR's Fresh Air
