Bill - Will this be recorded? I'd love to get a "bootleg" copy, even if recorded into a minidisk or something.

PSA Announcement

 

 

    SUNDAY, APRIL 10^th    ,will be the inaugural performance of  a monthly concert called

the SECOND SUNDAYS LIVE LOOPING SERIES at the ATTIC in downtown Santa Cruz

 

The kick off concert will feature guitarist extraordinaire,  ANDRE LaFOSSE from Los Angeles, and Santa Cruz guitar wiz BILL WALKER, as well as special guest Rick Walker who will act as MC. 

 

Live looping is a music performance style that incorporates the use of digital loop recorders, that allow  the performer the freedom to build multiple layers of sound in real time without the need for pre-recorded  backing tracks.  A growing number of international musicians playing a wide assortment of instruments, have embraced  this performance style, and festivals  devoted to this practice have sprouted up all over the globe

 

Andre La fosse, a self-described “ turntablist  guitarist”, creates   complex, multi-layered  guitar improvisations that defy easy description..  Bill Walker creates ambient impressionistic   soundscapes ,  that he describes as “music for imaginary movies”. Both of these accomplished guitarists represent mastery of two poles of  the worlds' most sophisticated live looping hardware 

 

Joining these two extraordinary  guitarist  is Rick Walker.  Better  known  as a master drummer and percussionist, Rick will do a set of experimental  guitar improvisations, treating the instrument as a found sound object. .

 

The performance starts at 7:00, and is FREE to all ages of the public.
