He has commissioned solo tuba pieces by Wolfgang von Schweinitz and Jack Herscowitz. Mason has performed with Synchromy, the Angel City Jazz Festival, wildUp, and Monday Evening Concerts, as well as performed the US premiere Ellen Arkbro’s Clouds for tuba trio at the Other Minds festival in San Francisco. He currently plays in the brass quartet Diapason, which focuses on performing long-form drone pieces by composer Sarah Davachi.
His compositions focus primarily on the use of extended just intonation to push the limits of tonal music. His music has been programmed across the United States by the Hear Now Festival, the James Madison University Wind Ensemble, Kevin Stees, Matt LeVeque, and the Los Angeles Brass Alliance.
