Currently, Mr. Krzyzaniak resides in Santa Barbara, California where he owns and operates an electronic music studio called Orphean Sculptures, where he continually composes, produces and records his own music and the music of others. He is a tenor in the acclaimed choir Quire of Voyces, plays guitar, bass, and piano in the band The Right Hand, and plays Djembe in the African drumming ensemble Dancing Drum. As a composer, he is engaged in ongoing collaborations with the acclaimed flautist Ritchie Gonzales, as well as with the tenor O.H. Lee.
