SPORQUE

Ooah with Jamie & Aaron from ZILLA

About Me

SPORQUE is a musical collaboration between the dj and producer known as Ooah, and Jamie Janover and Aaron Holstein from the band ZILLA. This trio blurs the boundary between dj and live band. Both Ooah and Aaron are synched together on 2 separate laptops, Ooah plays programmed drum beats and loops with a midi controller and drum pads while tweaking all the sounds with multiple effects and a dj mixer, he also uses one turntable for the live turntablism and scratches. Aaron plays all the subsonic bass and harmonic melodies with multiple keyboards and Jamie plays a variety of percussion instruments including the hammered dulcimer, mini-kit and sampler in addition to sitar and electric kalimba. Together as SPORQUE, they stretch the skin around this thing they call "live electronic trip-hop", hopefully opening new synapse pathways to the rest of the musical universe....CHECK OUT SPORQUE LIVE: http://www.bayrecorders.org/sporque.php

Ooah the subsonic scientist makes lots of noises, often times collaborating with other members of the strange and venerable glitch mob. Generally Ooah aka the Mob Boss brews audio concoctions consisting of banging drum beats that range anywhere from eighty-five to one hundred and ten beats per minute, squishy gut-wrenching bass frequencies, harmonic poly-rhythmic melodies and bloopy bleepy clicks and clacks. Some might know this madman for his outstanding turntablism, others for is highly energetic and consistently danceable hybrid dj/live laptop sets. No matter what the situation may be, Ooah and his fellow Glitch Mob homies are guaranteed to slay the crowd with an outrageously wicked performance and unforgettable sounds that will leave you begging for more...

Jamie Janover is recognized as a true innovator with the percussion stringed instrument called the hammered dulcimer. He is influencing how the hammered dulcimer is played by applying techniques acquired from over his experience playing many other percussion instruments including: drum kit, mini-kit, multi-percussion, tabla, congas, bongos, timbales, tongue drum, and udu. By using diverse techniques drawn from his 20 years of experience playing drums, he has expanded the traditional rhythmic vocabulary of the instrument. Jamie also plays mini sitar, tamboura, swarmadal, water effects, didgeridoo and didgeribone. Since moving to Boulder, Colorado in 1995, Jamie has played with a diverse group of bands and solo artists including: ZILLA, The Motet, Zuvuya, The Everyone Orchestra, The Zambiland Orchestra, Vibe Squad, and his own bands: Jamie Janover and the Realms Ensemble, Jamie Janover and Friends, Jamie Janover's Loop Realm.
