About Galen Clark
Clark’s official biography identifies him as a Portland-based keyboardist, songwriter, producer, and educator. It places his work across soul, funk, jazz, folk, electronic textures, and collaborative improvisation.[1]
His principal projects include the soul-funk collective Outer Orbit, the genre-crossing Trio Subtonic, and Patterns Fly with guitarist Andy Coe and drummer D’Vonne Lewis. Clark’s site links each project to first-party recordings rather than combining them into a single undifferentiated discography.[1]
The official project guide includes Outer Orbit’s self-titled album and Heart Shaped Plane, alongside Patterns Fly’s Live on Corbett Hill. Clark’s own Bandcamp documents additional solo and collaborative releases including Form and Void, The Well, and Providence.[1][2]
