I did my Recycalypso workshop at the Fife Library.  Kids and their families came in and learned about the culture and history of the steel drums and then used their own creativity and resourcefulness to create unique musical instruments of their own.  This is my first attempt at a remix of one of these concert/workshops.  I just got Ableton and have a VERY long way to go.  Also I recorded the original live recordings of the kids instruments directly onto Ableton and did not have it set correctly, so it clips badly.  Nevertheless, I wanted to give it a try!  Gotta just dive in sometimes.  They'll keep getting better, but I think there are some fun elements here.

Kenmore Public Library Bucket Drumming Remix 2015

Fun times at the Snoqualmie Tribe Summer Camp this past summer! This recording the product of Ian’s Bucket Drumming Remix workshop and was created by remixing the bucket drumming and voices of the workshop participants.  One of the participants also brought a tribal drum with an animal skin drum head.  The tribal drum is used a lot at the beginning of the remix and then repitched to create melodies and bass lines.

Snoqualmie Tribe Summer Camp Bucket Drumming Remix 2015

Fun times at the North Bend Library this past summer! This recording the product of Ian’s Bucket Drumming Remix workshop, but with many much younger kids in attendance than normal. Ian therefore mixed his show for younger kids, "Music Superheroes", with the Bucket Drumming Remix, which was originally for tweens and teens. A great time was had by all and even the youngest kids below 5 years old stuck around for over 90 minutes!
