World/Classical percussion group Loop 2.4.3, who performed at Cornell University two years ago, will returnto Ithaca to celebrate the release of their new CD, Zodiac Dust, with a performance at 8:15 p.m. on Friday, September 25, in Ford Hall at Ithaca College. Loop 2.4.3's performance is funded in part by the Tri-Fund, which is jointly supported by the Division of Student Affairs and Campus Life, The Office of the President, and the Office of the Provost.
In the tradition of sonic innovators like Steve Reich, Konono N°1, Moondog, and Radiohead, Loop 2.4.3’s new album flows through a vast array of sounds and rhythms across the nine tracks on Zodiac Dust. Their first CD, Batterie, was said to “reinvent percussion” (Fresh Air, NPR). Their new CD, nominated for album of the year at the Independent Music Awards, adds piano, voice, strings and two instruments of their invention, the Rose Echo and eLog, both to be featured at the upcoming performance.
Well known for their live shows, recent Loop 2.4.3 performances have been described as “Transportive” (Boston Phoenix), “Intricate and energetic” (The New York Times), “Mesmerizing…stunning” (Time Out Chicago), “a hard driving set” (Alex Ross, the New Yorker), and “a mind-blowing show” (Sean Boyd, Art Farm Recordings).
