The present day composer refuses to wait. My name is Geoff Pointer and I'm a composer and by hook or by crook I'm going to get my music out there.
My new album is now on nearly all the streaming services. The following links to my artist page on Spotify, where you will also find my contributions to two of the Frank Zappa tribute albums curated by Andrew Greenaway, published by Cordelia Records.
On YouTube you will find several demos and watershed videos of compositions that are yet to be released. Also some Frank Zappa arrangements, plus a live track from my performance at Zappanale #34.
As soon as I can, I will continue the practice of posting demos to mark stages in my ongoing progress as soon as I figure out the logistics.
I have an account on Facebook for all things musical. Send me a message there.

Very exciting is that Back Shed Studios is back up and running!! But, that's on a slow burn, which is equally exciting for me, because of the following. Firstly, which is huge for me, I have been invited as Turbulator to play Festival Mooah 2026 in my own right!! It is a Zappa festival, so I will play a set half and half Zappa and my own compositions. It's on March 20th and 21st and I will play solo on alto sax, guitar, voice and whistling, between the two main acts on the Saturday. Tickets selling fast!! Get them while they last!!
Secondly, and still very importantly (because part of my plan to move to the UK is to gain experience performing live with other musicians), I'm playing alto sax with the London Zappa Collective, all Zappa tunes, at The Acton Bowls Club, a short opening set for MindfooD on March 14th - Doors open 1900h and we start at 1930h. Free entry - very decent drink prices - a cheap Saturday night out!! Just be there!!

If you are viewing this on a small device, the header converts to a drop-down menu accessed via a rounded corner square with horizontal lines in it, in the top right hand corner. There are two main sections. One focussed on my own musical compositions: via the Geoff Pointer link, and the other for my interest in the music of Frank Zappa: via the Frank Zappa link. The About, Gallery and Bio sections are all subordinate to the Home section, all have the same header, and the grey top right Home link brings you back to the start of the Welcome section. The blue Structure button links to more detail where either the grey Home link or the blue Welcome button point back here.
