Ensemble Playing the On Ensemble Way
This workshop will focus on how the On Ensemble approaches groove and structured improvisation. Participants will learn how to arrange patterns and timbres to build interesting grooves. An emphasis will also be put on how to use auxiliary instruments to fill out grooves and patterns. Participants will also learn how to use different approaches to arranging parts from more structured to more improvised.
This workshop is open to all experience levels and ages.
The On Ensemble is at the forefront of a growing artistic movement in the drumming world and will be presenting a special 2 hour Taiko workshop on Saturday, November 15th before their performance at 8pm. Recognized for relentless innovation, On Ensemble has made a name for itself by infusing the powerful rhythms of taiko with overtone singing, odd meter grooves and soaring melodies. The members’ fearless musical explorations have taken the ancient instruments of taiko into new realms and have established a distinctly modern expression for the art form. The group’s unique sound has been praised as “completely original and brilliantly conceived.”
The On Ensemble features Masato (Maz) Baba, Kristofer Bergstrom, Eien Hunter-Ishikawa, Shoji Kameda and Abe Lagrimas who collectively combine their study and deep appreciation of Japanese traditional music with equally formative experiences as DJs, electronic music producers, Jazz drummers, and rock bassists to produce and record some of the most compelling music in the taiko world.
