CelloBop is a captivating 500-year history of cello music — its past, present plus a glimpse of it’s future. Gideon plays samples of classical, blues, jazz, rock and folk. He explains how a cello is made, how sounds is produced and he frames the mechanics and the magic of making music.
Gideon begins his program with a traditional acoustic cello then he plugs in his electric cello, adds some delays, reverb, and looping technology to build layer upon layer of sound. He creates lush waltzes, funky grooves and atmospheric soundscapes.
