Hey bay area loopers, just a reminder this clinic and concert event is today. Should be loads o' fun! ************** The Clinic: Looping with the Echoplex Digital Pro and LoopIV A clinic with Andre LaFosse and Jon Wagner Saturday, November 22, 4:00pm 3150 Adeline St. (at 32nd) Oakland, CA $10 door charge Master Echoplex users Andre LaFosse and Jon Wagner will teach a clinic on the finer points of looping and the Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro. They will cover many of the exciting new features in the LoopIV software for the Echoplex, and spend part of the clinic on techniques for multiple musicians to use looping together. There will be plenty of question and answer time, so bring all your questions about looping! *************** The Concert: Andre LaFosse and Jon Wagner Solo and Duo Performances Saturday, November 22, 8:00pm 3150 Adeline St. (at 32nd) Oakland, CA $10 door charge, or $5 if you also attend the afternoon clinic (nobody turned away for lack of funds) Guitarist Andre LaFosse and percussionist Jon Wagner bring their innovative approaches to live electronic music to Oaktown. Both artists use electric and acoustic instruments along with electronic processing equipment to create "loops" of repeating music which evolve over time. Andre has recently released a new solo album "Normalized" that will be available for sale at this show. They will each do a solo set and then join together as a duo. *** The Artists: Andre LaFosse Guitarist Andre LaFosse has been looping exclusively with the Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro for eight years, and in that time has built a reputation as one of the more iconoclastic and unusual practitioners of the craft. Flying in the face of ambient soundscape music, Andre's self-described "turntablist guitar" style draws influence from IDM, glitch-core, hip-hop, and funk, for a highly dynamic, aggressive, and rhythmically-based approach. He is also the creator of the Echoplex Analysis Pages, arguably the first web site to offer annotated musical examples of real-time looping, which has drawn thousands of visitors since its inception in 2002. For information and sound samples, visit http://www.altruistmusic.com Jon Wagner Percussionist Jon Wagner is a professional drummer in the San Francisco Bay Area. He usually plays jazz, but also spends quite some time with percussion and real-time electronic processing. Jon values improvisation as a center to his musical focus and has been interested in the concept of live looping for several years now. Jon is using a Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro and an Electrix Repeater to sample his playing live and recall those loops. This allows him to improvise solo or as part of a group within (and outside) many different genres. http://www.jondrums.com ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
