Tigger Benford is a percussionist and composer, specializing in hand drumming, improvisation and music for dance. In recent years he has been blessed with the opportunity to compose scores for the established and renowned choreographers, Sean Curran and Jane Comfort, and for his colleagues at Rutgers, Randy James, John Evans, Paulette Sears and Julia Ritter.
“Playing for dance is important to me. What I value about it most is that seeing movement helps me create music, and it is necessary for me to create music to live life with a sense of satisfaction and meaning. In turn, the music I play seems to be inspiring for those who use it for movement, and this is gratifying as well, to know that my music has found a useful place in the world.”
