This session will be a presentation of original music for live looped and processed percussion instruments, voice, and electronics. The music being performed will showcase how integrating music technology with standard and found percussion instruments and voice can yield an endless variety of sound worlds. There will be moments of high intensity that explore complex rhythms and phrasing, diving headfirst into the intricacies of percussion. In contrast, there will be moments of blurred ambient serenity, giving listeners a chance to become lost in the sound and guided into a meditative state of mind. There will even be moments that explore the world of avant garde singer songwriter music, encouraging the audience to find relatability between themselves and the performer on a more personal level. I am passionate about creating music that is experimental and boundary pushing, yet still accessible to a general audience, so my goal is to present a performance that can spark intrigue and a feeling of connection across people of all ages with all different types of music taste.

In terms of the technology I will use for this performance, I will be using MainStage to live process sounds, a Boss-RC 300 loop station to loop sounds, a few other effects pedals to further manipulate the sound, and one or two software synthesizers to add further layers to the sound. My primary instrumentation will be vibraphone, snare drum, floor tom, kick drum, and a variety of smaller standard percussion instruments and found sounds.
