about

This is the complete live stream of my electric Kora improvisations performed behind my house on a set of stairs overlooking the downtown San Francisco skyline on the foggy morning of April 29, 2020.

I was completely battery powered. All I was using was my Kumbengo Kora E-Kora, a t.c. electronics Ditto X2, a Boss GT-1 and Boss Super Octave, all going through a Roland Go: Mixer Pro into my phone and out to Facebook.

This is the first release of solo Kora music since my 2015 release “Headlands”, recorded in 1998. “Fog Variations” features old and new signature extended techniques such as pitch shifting, tapping, harmonics, swiping, looping, double time/half time and soundscape.
