MUSIC TUESDAY (or "Todd Recommends...)

If you're like me, you're sick of the whole acoustic-guitar looping thing. Yes, it's impressive. And old news.

However, Zoe Keating is a breath of fresh air. Her music is really super good. With sampling, she's creating something much more "musical" in a classical sense...creating quartets/quintets/orchestras rather than just building a beat and a bass line.

Very cool! I remember seeing Phil Keaggy do some insane loops on his electric guitar back in the early nineties at a concert in Marshall, Texas.

Also, if you like the vibe of this music, then you should check out Väsen at their scandonavian music label's website (http://www.noside.com/). No looping here, but killer acoustic instrumental tunes incorporating 12 and six string guitars, the nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle), a viola, and drums.
