Bebop '79

g, p, dr,
Musician of Electronic, Jazz and Rock

Bebop '79 is genre bending jazz "duet" from Michael Fanuzzi (drums, guitar, voice) and continuing iterations of His Machine, Lazerbeat (piano, synthesizers). The Machine is, at a functional level, a clever means of playing multiple instruments at once, feeding off of the subtleties of percussion and the environment to generate fantastical melodies in response. But more than that, there's an unpredictable nature to it that makes it feel truly alive. The Machine is not only reacting, it is in itself creating. Together. Note selection of all keyboards are driven directly by detection of percussive inputs, using a combination of pitch/FFT analysis, first from the drums, and later from the guitar, and even voice. Loops and layers are built, growing ever vaster in scale. Here at lazerbea.ms, we endeavor to utilize technology to achieve an artistic transcendence. A futuristic primitivism.
