NW LoopFest Set For Oct 15 – 18

NW LoopFestOnce again the greatest, most creative musical event you’ve never heard of is here!

This year the NW LoopFest (www.nwloopfest.com) is four nights in three cities.

The opening nights are Oct 15th and 16th in Seattle, WA at the Jewelbox Theatre in the Rendezvous Lounge. Admission is $10 and the shows start at 7pm. Advance tickets are available through the festival webpage, www.nwloopfest.com or via Jewelbox Theatre website.

Oct 17th is a single-day, two-stage looping extravaganza at the Analog Theatre in Portland, OR. Admission is $10 at the door. Show starts at 4pm.

Oct 18th is a special presentation of selected technologies at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Tickets are donation only. Show starts at 5pm.

For those of you wondering what is a “LoopFest?” It is a showcase of music and technology performance artists. These artists use hardware and/or software technologies to instantly record and play back sound. It is a diverse, creative, innovative, and fascinating display of talent, science, and art. Looping has been around for decades in academia, avant garde, and incorporates new technologies into making sound.

This year the NW LoopFest will debut two new looping technologies. Frederick Brummer from Vancouver, CA has an analog looping device that makes use of a record disc that can be manipulated the same way DJs scratch and mix. MC Space Cadet will present his Holofunk; an audiovisual, gestural live looper. It is, as he calls it, �…a Minority Report interface for looping.”

All of the artists are highly talented, highly creative, highly interesting, and amazingly in technologies and styles. Some are noise,
some use traditional song forms, some are ambient, some are powerful, some are subtle. Complete line-up, set-times, venue, and ticket information for each event is online at www.nwloopfest.com along with links to artist websites and video recorded performances from last year’s festivals. Facebook links are available for those who want to personally interact with the festival and performers, as well as links to stream the concerts live.

The NW LoopFest is sponsored by Beat Buddy.
