We normaly webcast TestingTesting on Monday nights. Tonight will be the exception. Tonight we will be webcasting, from my living room, a guest we have been trying to get for a year and a half. His name is Gideon Freudmann and his instrument is an electric cello with a digital sampler. He is from Massachussets and only gets out to the Great Northwet once a year. Thursday was the only night we could get him so Thursday night it is.

He can play a phrase and capture it with the digital sampler which will play it back while he plays over it building up layers of sound. He does this live. No prerecording. He plays with himself, so to speak. Amazing music — it's hard to classify. Gideon calls his music cellobop. You can hear some music clips on his website CelloBop. Click on in at 7pm (pacific) for some great music.
