To inspire your audience, the Australian newcomer, Tash Sultana, no Band – just her loop station. Their music is based on repetition – but that all sounds other than monotonous.
A year ago, only 22-year-old Australian, Tash Sultana triggered a Hype in the social networks. In your own four walls, you took the Music-making. Your “Live Bedroom Recording”Videos went over night viral. Today, on international concert stages.
So, too, in their appearance in the context of the c/o pop in Cologne. On the stage a bunch of instruments – multiple guitars, a Bass, mandolin, Keyboard, trumpet. Tash Sultana occurs alone in front of your audience. The instruments will play all of the self and the role played by a whole Band. But how? Here, technology comes into play.
Because in addition to the instruments, an Element for Sultanas Performance is essential: the loop station. Under the Looping means in music, short sound sequences, recorded, and then be arbitrarily often repeated in a continuous loop.
Tash Sultana has made of this principle. Her musical career began as a street musician in the pedestrian zones of Melbourne. Here are many make use of the so-called “Buskers“, the musicians, the loop station.
A sound construct
The principle of the small Box is simple. Sultana takes the guitar in Hand, which is wired to a Pedal. With the first step on the Pedal it starts recording and then plays a catchy eight-bar Riff. The second Occurs to stop the recording, and is repeatedly rehearsed infinitely through the speakers. Now you can set the guitar to the side, and occasionally other instruments such as Bass, and drum Pads to record and on the basis of the reef layers.
Ed Sheeran is an example of this is that you can have a conversation as a One-Man-Band, his audience successfully alone
So you created your own, always repeating the Playback Pattern. The whole sound is built in construct first, Sultana devote themselves to the Singing and Instrumentalsoli. Already, Ed Sheeran was able to fill with this One-Man-Band-principle of all the halls.
Looping doesn’t have to be boring
The concept of eternal recurrence seems to work in the music. But why? The infinite loop is, by Definition, monotonous and dull? Already Adorno criticized the repetition in jazz music, even considered it as a boring, spirit-killing.
“A lot of people find, for example, that Techno is its electronically-generated repetitions terribly,” explains Tilman Baumgärtel, author of “loops: The history and Aesthetics of the loop”. You could make of this feeling but also free to dance to it, it will lose and be inspired.
Convincing Performance
Unlike the Techno, the infinite loop occurs when Tash Sultanas music in the Background. What counts is what you make of the repetitions. And since the Australian definitely has the hang of it, how can your audience get carried away.
The multi-instrumentalist delivers in her Songs, a playful mix of Rock, Folk and Reggae, brilliant guitar solos included. You jamming with yourself, finally, of the ten instruments that she has taught all self-controlled. And why not just time Beatboxing with pan flute combine?! Sing may, Tash Sultana, by the way. And how! Time she breathes softly and full of emotion into the microphone, and other times it sounds shrill and bloodcurdling.
With so much Power on stage, it is no wonder that the audience lies at her feet. Since the creators of the c/o pop-festival, once again the right nose for a natural talent, as they took the Australian to Cologne. Of this lady, you will hear a lot.
