Sunday, 8/11 Oakland Mini-Loop Fest

["matt davignon" <mattdavignon@hotmail.com>]

Well, given the scale of the Y2K2 festival, I have to unofficially change 
the name of this event from "Oakland Loop Fest" to "Oakland Mini Loop 
Fest". 
After all, we only have a about tenth of the musicians:

Oakland Mini-Loop Fest 8:00 $6-10 Sliding Scale

Sunday, August 11
21 Grand 449B 23rd Street (at Broadway)
Oakland, CA

Rick Walker - Processed Live Percussion & Found Objects
Bill Walker - Electronic Guitar
Matt Davignon - Turntable, CD, and Tape
Scott "Kungha" Drengsen - Looped Fretless Bass

4 musicians exploring instruments combined with live electronic 
processing/looping from different perspectives will present solo sets, 
followed by collaborative improvisation.

Rick Walker has been improvising and composing music for the past 25 
years. 
Originally highly involved with world music, Rick is now equally 
interested 
in the process of real-time sampling and looping. With his Loop.pooL 
project, he creates mesmerizing one-man shows in which he spontaneously 
creates intricate multi-tracked music from a well-varied selection of 
household objects and ethnic instruments. Many of his shows also feature 
an 
element of audience participation.

Bill Walker is a a guitarist/multi-instrumentalist who uses live digital 
looping to create lush aural landscapes that he describes as "soundtracks 
for imaginary films." Bill brings a wide range of stylistic diversity to 
his 
performances, mixing in influences from the far corners of the globe.

Matt Davignon utilizes consumer grade home audio equipment (turntable, CD 
player and cassette) to create shifting tapestries of improvised sound. 
Utilizing real-time sampling devices to create irregular but recognizable 
patterns, Matt strives to create music that is unpredictable yet 
accessible.

Scott "Kungha" Drengsen has been using effects and looping devices to 
explore/expand the capabilities of his 6 string fretless bass for nearly 
10 
years. This music has appeared in film, radio, television and cafes where 
people mostly ignored him. In his day job as a "regular" bassist, Kungha 
has 
performed for Stevie Wonder, (Oaklands own) Dimensions Dance Theatre,and 
our 
last elected American President.
