Workshop in Berlin "LOOPING: TECHNOLOGY AT THE SERVICE OF ART"

Workshop "LOOPING: TECHNOLOGY AT THE SERVICE OF ART"

How the idea came about

After years of creating the concept Celloop (cello + Loop), the idealizer of this project Christian Grosselfinger in 2012 wagered on his solo career and leaves the orchestral means to devote himself exclusively to his creation. After traveling through central Europe, Brazil and South Africa, doing concerts with its renowned concert/concept, Christian understood that this technique could help others to achieve autonomy, allowing himself to live of music and develop professionally.

About the project

This project aims to offer a new musical arrangement technique called Looping that allows participants to expand their capacity to create and present music, giving more autonomy and expressiveness to their artistic activities. The workshop will be developed collectively in a spirit of reflection and cooperation.

Why is it interesting?

The aim of this project is to provide access to contemporary technical knowledge used in musical Looping area, demonstrating a current trend of bringing together art and technology.

Currently, the technology has exercised a great fascination on the younger ones, so this workshop intends to take advantage of this interest for the sake of art.

The use of the loop is a trend that has currently grown in the music. It is a technique that enables audio recording and reproduction cyclically. It is an excellent technical resource, which to musical performance enables the creation of a greater sound density.

The possibility of being executed individually and applied to the various musical genres add numerous advantages:

• Enables greater autonomy;

• Develops creativity;

Enhances the musical performance, allowing the listening to post

performance enabling self-assessment;

• Assists in solos, improvisations, and musical compositions;

• Allows the realization of a richer and more interesting solo concert, since looping allows a single artist to perform a full concert, it synthesizes several instruments and sound variations. Without this tool, a realization of this nature would be impossible without the presence of other musicians.
