Hi everyone, 1 of 2 posts this week. This one's a big multivenue,
multicity festival, so I figured it'd be best as its own announcement.
This week, at multiple venues
THE Y2K6 LIVE LOOPING FESTIVAL
Over 50 artists from around the globe will converge on the San
Francisco Bay Area this fall for the Fifth Annual Y2K6 Live Looping
Festival. Perfomers from across the United States and as many as 10
other countries will appear in Santa Cruz, Calif., on October 21 and
22, for the main two days of the festival. Additional festival-related
events will be held in San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland during the
week preceding the main festival.
Looping is a broad class of music based on the idea of performances
and recordings built using long delay lines. Looping artists use a
variety of sources to generate layered textures which are manipulated
in real-time in various ways (including reversal, time or pitch
shifting, etc.), resulting in complex interactive compositions. The
breadth of the looping genre will be well demonstrated at the Y26K
festival, which will guitarists, cellists, trumpet players, solo
singers, fusion bands, avant-garde musicians, circuit benders,
abstract electronica artists, even comedians and spoken word artists.
