Hello, everybody! This is Tyler Zahnke. I am a totally blind musician living in Michigan. I write ambient-style music (for those who know about Imogen Heap, Morcheeba, or many pieces found in stock music libraries, you'll know what that is). I also write comedy songs occasionally. For those who visited my website on July 28, 2015 or before, that is all you saw on my home page, but as I realize that my soul is in beautiful instrumental music, though I will never give up on the parodies. I have only done three live comedy performances in my entire life; a holiday one in December 2010 and a fancy parody bit performance in July of 2011, both at the Wolverine Worldwide Family YMCA, and one in June of 2015 at the [http://grfestival.org Grand Rapids Festival]. I have done some even smaller live performances (which sometimes included comedy and sometimes ambient music) for the Grand Rapids Songwriters Alliance, which I joined in July of 2014. I hope to play more live shows, and keep producing music. I'm looking for live shows, so if any of you want an instrumental musician who can play both slow and fast music, contact me. | Hello, everybody! This is Tyler Zahnke.

Great news!
