Casey Driessen: The Singularity Tour 2012

What began as an occasional experiment at camps, festival workshops, and during practice room shenanigans will now become the focus for Casey Driessen next year. The setup is simple: Casey + fiddle + pedal board + a mess of wires. Using recording and looping technology along with digital effects pedals, he will build arrangements and songs layer by layer in real-time for the audience. There is a wide and colorful range of sounds and textures possible from just the fiddle, and he intends to set out on a sonic adventure. You're invited to come along for the ride.

Selections will range from heavily layered compositions with a gradual build: "Casey Driessen: The Singularity Tour. Performing The Heartbeat Kid"

Casey comments, "And many degrees in between. My time with Béla Fleck & the Flecktones comes to an end at the 25th anniversary of MerleFest next year...at which point I kick off my tour and host the Midnight Jam again. Please keep an eye on my GIGS Page to see when The Singularity Tour lands in a town near you."
