i had the awesome opportunity to see one of my favorite musicians in rome last night. my friend, mike, has his connections and we were pleasantly surprised to be placed in the first row, and for free! andrew bird is a multi-instrumental artist. so he would play one instrument for a couple measures while recording, then pick up another one and loop the tracks. eventually, 3-4 instruments and voice tracks would be playing while he harmonized his voice and instruments with the multiple looped tracks. he even whistles. he is a genius. check out the video i recorded below. he didnt loop many tracks in this performance, but all of what i heard was "live" - meaning nothing was prerecorded, and no background band is doing the work - just him. i was mesmerized to say the least.
