Drumscapes - multi - percussion live sampling

Tradition meets innovation meets cutting edge technology in the hands of one musician's solo performance

A unique and exciting solo multi - percussion performance combining a range percussion instruments with live sampling & audio processing technology. All instruments are played, sampled, mixed & processed live on stage, creating a live multi percussion multi-track performance of highly energised rhythmical journeys.
