Student Showcase: BLUEs.WEAVE and the Victory Sound, with Jai Kobi Kaleo’Okalani – guitar, vocals, and effects; Coen Rios – saxophone; Ethan Horn – drums.
BLUEs.WEAVE creates interconnected webs of sound drawing from a pool of analog recordings, programmed MPC grooves, and their own recorded performances from acoustic and electronic sources. Combining the ritual of crate digging with layers of electronic manipulation, BLUEs.WEAVE morphs a sample chop into an instrument in its own right, blurring the line between composition and discovery. Together with the Victory Sound, BLUEs.WEAVE explores the potential of these sonic webs through improvisation, poetry, and alchemy.
