Event Description
A gem of an improviser, Björn sublimely coaxes sounds from either his guitar or drum kit, drawing from an inestimable wealth of ideas. Lyle is a studious performer using his bass or laptop with surgical precision, constantly pushing the envelope while including elements of chance and directed interactivity. Together these formidable musicians will embark on an uncharted sonic exploration incorporating sound oriented image manipulation software to create a rich multimedia performance.
Lyle Hopkins is a musician (bassist) and educator residing in Vancouver, BC. He is interested in the creation of occasions for intuitive and interactive experience through improvisation and interactive multimedia within the context of musical performance. Lyle has been a featured performer at a number of international music festivals including the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival, Seattle Jazz Experience, Reno Jazz Festival, Oregon Jazz Festival, and many others. His work has been featured at the Vancouver Art Gallery, The Western Front (Vancouver), WoodStockhausen (Victoria), and the Sonic Boom Music Festival (Vancouver).
