SHOW OF THE WEEK: ACAPPELLA-COPTER
By Kristina and Michael and EVERYONE WHO LISTENS on January 26, 2010 in main
This week's featured show is one of our standbys. A member of the KRLX old guard, Acappella-copter with Clare Jones features music performed in the style of acapella, where one's voice is one's instrument. As Clare promises in her description on krlx.org, there are "no drums, no guitars, no ukeleles" on her show, "just people pretending to be drums, guitars and (occasionally) ukeleles." Acappella is about stretching our preconceived notions of the limitations of the body and the art of performance. In an attempt to replicate it creates an entirely new musical form. It's the same, but different. Clare's show is a fresh and often surprising look at music we thought we knew.
Tune in to Acappella-copter on Tuesday afternoons. Capt. Jones takes off promptly at 1PM.
