Griffin Law is an audio specialist, percussionist, educator, and composer living and teaching in the Austin, Texas area. Currently, he operates as a freelance audio specialist in the marching arts, working with marching bands, drum corps, and indoor percussion ensembles in Texas, Arizona, and California. Griffin also serves as the Audio Caption Manager for the Sacramento Mandarins. He began working with the Mandarins in the record-breaking Drum Corps International 2023 season, where the ensemble received an all-time high placement of 6th place. When not working with ensembles, he is active in the pageantry arts judging community and has adjudicated for several performance organizations in both marching band and indoor percussion capacities.
Previously, Griffin has served as a collegiate professor at Paradise Valley Community College and The University of Arizona, teaching courses in electronic music, sound design, and leading CrossTalk, an electro-acoustic ensemble that focuses on creating new works for live electronic music performance. As a composer and arranger, he strives to create works that blur the lines of percussion and multi-media but remain accessible to the public, creating space for classically trained musicians to have a low barrier of entry to incorporating technology into their performance practice. Griffin also maintains an active private lesson studio, educating students on both percussion skills and electronic music skills, primarily through Ableton Live.
Griffin received his Master of Music Performance Degree from Valdosta State University and his Bachelor of Music Education Degree from Georgia College and State University. He is currently a member of the Vic Firth and Zildjian Co. Education Teams.
