Details:
This tribal jamrock powerhouse is at the forefront of the growing Pacific NW didgeridoo movement. Tony Sciola, Jeff Cooper, Ronnie Lamb, and Chris Jhana as Vivid curve bring together a wholly original musical combination, producing a sound that is both unclassifiable, and unforgettable!

Jeff Cooper, Self-taught in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, his dedication to the intuitive exploration of the didgeridoo sound in its modern context has allowed him to develop a vocabulary of rhythms and tones that are truly his own, including multiple high frequency tone production, Tuvan style vocalizations, tabla style articulations and beat boxing!

Tony Sciola, steel string wizard, captains each odyssey of improvisation with an endless repertoire of original and classic tunes using a range of stringed instruments including mandolin and various guitars: a Guild acoustic, Carver electric and A National Steel (handcrafted by Sciola when he worked for National Resophonic Guitar).

Ronnie Lamb, the groupâs talented and versatile percussionist, performs with a truly unique rhythmic pallet. Mixing electronic triggers with an acoustic drumkit, Ronnie's drumming is an expression of the organic/electronic evolution of dance.

Chris Jhana, madman on the congas, has developed through years of research a hand drum arrangement that encompasses a planet's worth of tribal percussion. Djembes, dumbecks, bells, chimes and much more all help lay down a dance groove nobody can sit still for!

"The didgeridoo has found a home here in Stumptown with a new wave of players. A group called Vivid Curve (its members including âUrban Shamanâ Jeff Cooper) has freshened up the traditional droning tube."
