with Hannah Leffler
This presentation deals with electronic music, primarily focusing on live looping, a technique that allows performers to create a variety of textures and play with numerous voices. This is not just for performance, though! This will be geared toward performers and educators of all ages. It will include a demonstration of how this music works and how it can be used for effective pedagogy, practice, and and improvisation.
