2008 Norwich Festival of Live Looping 2 events Saturday October 11, 1PM Norwich Arts Centre Bar,FREE LiveLooping music is a way of extending your musical possibilities without resorting to the use of pre-recorded material. Sounds can be layered, altered, mixed and edited as the music is performed. Each artist presented here this afternoon has been able to develop their own unique style of music, so it's not only an ideal opportunity to see live looping in action, but also just an afternoon of great music. Per Boysen from Sweden plays alto flute and EWI. Per's control of his looped sounds is second to none, allowing him to create complex accompaniments from just short flute phrases. The EWI is an Electronic Wind Instrument, which can be played like a sax, but sound like any instrument Per imagines. Per's quirky arrangements are guaranteed to delight and intrigue. Steve Bingham, a solo violinist with a successful career in classical music who also finds time to loop his violin, creating an eclectic mix of classical, folk and minimalism, with some gorgeous arrangements of well known songs thrown in for fun. Steve Lawson is a solo bass guitarist, using real time looping to layer up processed bass sounds to build an orchestral soundscape that blends jazz, ambient, electronica, funk and folk music. Lobelia's acapella voice sings us songs of love and loss, blending hook-laden adult pop with a more spacial ambient sensibility. Expect angelic choirs and witty observation. andy butler uses special guitar techniques to create drum beats, dub bass lines, orchestral washes and all manner of sounds, combining them together into a seamless mix with some unexpected twists and turns. http://www.looproom.com/ <<<Per Boysen http://stevebingham.co.uk/home/ http://www.stevelawson.net/ http://www.lobelia.net/ http://www.andybutler.com <<<with audio & pics from 2007 festival http://www.norwichartscentre.co.uk ...and a complementary event LiveLooping Improvisers at the Late shift,FREE Wednesday 15 October, 5PM-8PM Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts The Late Shift hosts a range of multi-media events throughout the building, including sets from some of the worlds most accomplished live looping improvisers. http://www.scva.org.uk/whatson/special_events/?id=515 Per Boysen & andy butler Rhythm, melody and spontaneity.
