Hello everyone, I just joined the list in the last couple of days and
figured I should introduce myself. I have a degree in Ethnomusicology and
I am a multi-instrumentalist, instrument-maker, and educator. I’m
based in Memphis but do a fair amount of traveling (mostly in the US thus far)
to teach workshops and perform. My company, Being:Art, has a line of
instruments developed for outdoor classrooms that we sell throughout the
US. My interest in looping grew with my interest in composition and the
evergrowing number of instruments I play. To answer the question about
the home rig/traveling rig that is currently being discussed… Many instruments (incl. Tuba, didjeridu,
doson’goni, ethnic flutes & whistles, world percussion, Tibetan
bowls, voice, etc.) > Shure SM-98A & SM-81 > Tapco Mixer > EH 16
second (reissue) thru the effects send/return on the mixer > Bose PAS
system. The only difference between the home and touring rig would be
changing out any number of instruments based on what I need & I generally
don’t travel with the Bose b/c I’ve had luck borrowing/renting in
the past (Bose has a pretty decent network setup for owners to share/rent
systems). The EH 16 has been great for creating ambient sounds but
doesn’t lend itself to rhythmic work. I recently played a show with
William Eaton and I dug his Jamman setup so much that I just bought one on
Ebay. It’ll be here at the end of the week. We’ll see
how it gets incorporated into the rig. I'd like to just say that I've only been on this list for
a couple of days and I really dig how active the discussions are, how varied
the topics are, and I dig the general positive vibe thus far. It's great
to meet you all! If you’re interested in learning more about what I
do, you can find plenty of info at the links below. Thanks, Sean
