Urban Tribal Global Loops – Live

As a live looping artist, I weave voice, ngoni, trumpet, flutes, percussion and
electronics into dense, improvised soundscapes. From simple motifs, polyrhythmic
grooves, chants and melodic layers emerge, forming a living, breathing set.

Each performance is unique and responds to space, audience and moment. Loops are
built up, transformed and deconstructed in real time – between driving beats,
ritual patterns and meditative phases. The result are sets that invite both
dancing and deep listening.

What I Offer – Live Sets & Formats

Club & Festival Live Set

45–90 minute live looping performance with driving beats, global grooves
and improvised solos. Ideal for stages where electronic and acoustic energies merge.

Ecstatic Dance & Conscious Events

2–3 hour wave-shaped sets with slow build, peaks and integrative closing.
Designed for movement journeys where rhythm, breath and presence guide the experience.

Ritual-Oriented Live Set

Performances focused on trance, repetition and polyrhythm — inspired by fieldwork
on Gnawa rituals and transformative sound practices.

Site-Specific & Art Performances

Soundscapes tailored for theatre, exhibitions and installations.
Music that responds to architecture, acoustics and atmosphere.

Set & Setting

The live setup is compact and flexible. It works in small clubs, off-spaces, black boxes,
former churches, outdoor settings and on festival stages. Technical details and PA requirements
are clarified in advance so that the performance can unfold smoothly in your space.

I particularly enjoy working in contexts where listening and movement come together:
dance floors, immersive concerts, ritual-inspired events and interdisciplinary art programmes.
Light, smoke and other atmospheric elements can be integrated to deepen the experience.

For ecstatic dance and ritual-oriented settings, I can offer short introductions with breath,
body awareness and simple movement tasks. This helps groups arrive, drop into the music and
enter a shared flow state more easily.

Technical Setup & Rider

The live set is built around one central loop station, two compact keyboards and a small
selection of performance FX tools. From there, all acoustic instruments are integrated live:
voice, trumpet, flutes, ngoni, hand percussion and various small instruments collected over
years of fieldwork and touring.

The setup is compact but powerful and works on club and festival PAs as well as in more
intimate venues. A detailed technical rider with input list, stage layout and preferred
monitoring is available as PDF and can be adapted to your space

How It Works – Booking a Performance

1. Initial Contact

You share date, location, format (club, festival, ecstatic dance, art event)
and the approximate duration of the set.

2. Concept & Setup

We clarify sound system, stage situation and whether the context is more club-oriented,
ritual-focused or site-specific. If needed, we adapt the technical rider to your venue.

3. Performance

I play the live set on site – optionally with a short introduction, closing sequence
or interactive elements, depending on the event.

4. Follow-Up

If desired, we discuss documentation, future collaborations or extended formats such as
workshops and ritual sessions.
