Tek Tawk & Rider

Amy’s current live setup includes:

elecmusteach• Drumkat midi percussion controller
• Yamaha 01X MLAN mixer/effects/interface
• Yamaha I88X MLAN router (for ChiXtet only)
• Mobius looping software
• Logic Pro host application with Battery, Kontact, and Logic plug-ins
• Custom pink Sennheiser e935 microphone

• Optional custom Blippoo Box analog synth with proximity-sensor antenna, Roland VP-70 harmonizer, slide whistle, kazoo, pink ukulele and other toys.

HOW IT WORKS: All sounds are either sung and played in real time, live-looped, or triggered with a drum hit. For each song or song section, Amy has programmed 12 drum pads to perform a variety of functions such as triggering a synth sound or sample, instructing the looper to begin recording or overdubbing, or sending messages to a digital mixer to change levels or effects. As Amy cycles through the songs using a foot pedal, she brings up completely new configurations of drum pads, effects, looping setups and electronic sounds. Other than short samples, Amy makes a point of using as little pre-recorded sound as possible, actually playing all of the material.

Overheard....

“Sometimes high art like this can disappear into itself. Not so with Neuburg. Her diverse array of sounds (vocally and electronically) are matched by both her intelligent and emotionally connected lyrics and conversely her sense of fun.”

— Otago Daily Times, New Zealand
