Daniel Bernard Roumain: “Woodbox Beats & Balladry”

Presented by UC Riverside Presents

January 29, 2011

Add Review/Comment

Haitian-American violinist, composer, performer, and band leader, Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) is “as omnivorous as a contemporary musician can get,” (New York Times). A sonic pioneer, DBR’s genre-bending compositions have made him the darling of the concert hall and club circuit alike. His genius for fusing classical music, hip-hop beats, concert violin, and progressive electronic beats, has led to collaborations with everyone from The Sphinx Symphony Orchestra and Philip Glass to DJ Spooky, Bill T. Jones, 2 Live Crew and Lady Gaga. A thoroughly modern master, he channels both Paganini and Prince with equal aplomb for a thoroughly classical-urban sound.

Program: DBR lets loose with his newest release, “Woodbox Beats & Balladry” (Thirsty Ear Recordings) strutting his signature six-string amplified violin with extended techniques, effect pedals, and additional MAC-based processing for a total sonic experience. He is joined by Elan Vytal aka DJ Scientific, who adds precisely engineered hip-hop beats and scratched rhythms to form a matrix of urban textures for a completely unique, contemporary sound.
