DESCRIPTION:
Each @3rd weekend in October musicians from all over the planet gather in Santa Cruz, CA, in celebration of the Y2K International Live Looping Festival. The experimental music 6 day event now in it's 8th year was founded and ongoingly curated/nurtured by World percussionist/drummer/multi-instrumentalist, looping artist and teacher Rick Walker. This was my 3rd year to take part in Y2K and the day I was there, October 17th, I shot a number of the artists performing and put together this highlights video. My apologies to a few artists not included. I arrived to the event after it started and missed a few of the opening performers as well as near my own set was involved in prep so I managed to document two artists before me but got everyone after me. This video includes Glenn Smith, Rick Walker, Jim Goodin, Chinapainting, Daryl Shawn, Stanosaur, Ted Killian, Nadia Shihab, Electrofunkadelica, Kalimba Man & Andre´ Donawa, Lilli Lewis, Nat Grant, David Cooper Orton, Warren Sirota, Bill Walker, Kalimba Man & Bill Walker, Kevin Kissinger and Travis Johns.
