LOOP THE LOOP
It's got a bebop-jazz, plucked-cello backbone holding up a layer of drawn-out bowed notes under the soaring arch of a world class singer. LOOP!STATION uses an RC20 machine to let the performers record their work live onstage and play it back in a repeat pattern. Together Sam Bass and Robin Coomer record, play, record again, and ultimately spin out a wide-ranging and shimmering sonic net. Is it necessary to get such a production-booth level of engineering for a live show? Yes. Cellist Bass' orchestral arrangements are the only suitable accompaniment to Coomer's huge, elastic alto, as muscular and beautiful as the angsty love child of k.d. lang and Suzanne Vega. This girl's voice would eat any lesser music for breakfast. Think the Cocteau Twins with PJ Harvey at the controls. Think halucinatory aural investigations. Think great make-out music...
