This Tuesday July 22nd - Planet Of The Loops

The Planet Of The Loops' bi-monthly looping series returns
with long-time collaborators in traditional European music,
Laurence Stevenson and Ben Grossman as they explore
their loopier, experimental selves for this concert. Laurence is
a formidable fiddler in the realm of Celtic, folk and traditional
music and Ben is a hurdy gurdy (vielle a roue/Drehleier) player
who's not afraid of a bouree or mazurka. They both additionally
share backgrounds in experimental music, sound design and
composition, and will be using live looping devices and
electronics to extend their instruments. The evening will 
be totally improvised...protective headwear is optional.
