Live Looping on TV in Queens, NY
Yo cats 'n' kittens!
A little live looping tonight (Friday, Sept. 7th) on your television
set. If you're in the area of Queens, New York, you can catch me on "Wes
Houston Presents..." tonight at 8:00 pm, Channel 56 (Times Warner cable) or
36 (FIOS).
I perform three pieces on guitar (with electronic drums and bass as
noted):
* The Long Dance - pulse-based (100 bpm) with electronic percussives,
primarily in A major, somewhat in the tradition of Steve Reich
* Georgia O'Keefe - languid pulse-based (48 bpm) with electronic
percussives and bass, a shifting major-ish tonality, kind of Kind of Blue
* The Myth of Perseus - non-pulsed waves, G major, somewhere between Steve
Roach and Robert Fripp
Between the music I talk with Wes about looping, kind of an introductury
overview of my influences and how looping began.
I'm currently slicing and dicing the video up into shorter clips that I
hope to post on YouTube soon.
