Re: Heard live-looper Shannon Haydn in Indy

[kkissinger@kevinkissinger.com]

Her material in Indy was all original -- lots of precise pedal pushing.

I just pseudo-randomly picked a video that demonstrates her playing in  
an informal, club setting.  There is another video of one of her  
student recitals at Yale where she plays one of her own works for  
electronically processed/looped 'cello.

She was well-received by everyone at the Indianapolis event.

I understand what can happen when one does more "conventional" music  
and "covers".  For example, on my website I have some arrangements of  
covers that I play on theremin (i.e., "Londonderry Aire") and someone  
who's only exposure to my music is that one track would have a narrow  
picture of what I do.
