Live Looping - Joe Driscoll @ cargo
Sunday, December 3rd, 2006At Simon’s suggestion, we went to Joe Driscoll’s awesome album launch at Cargo on Wednesday night. His performances use Live Looping - right there on stage, he first lays down a live beatbox drum loop and then gradually layers bass (in some tracks, involving a digeridoo!) etc on top until there’s enough texture for him to break into a verse. It’s amazing to hear a full band sound come from just one guy on stage. Here’s a video of him performing at Cargo earlier in the year on YouTube.
Also check out: joedriscoll.net or his myspace page (which has more tracks to listen to). You can see loads of photos of the Cargo night on flickr here. His new album is called Origin Myth.
