Brooklyn World-Fusion group Loop 2.4.3 returns to Ithaca, showcasing new music from Zodiac Dust (their Independent Music Award-Nominated CD) at Ithaca College.

In the tradition of sonic innovators like Steve Reich, Konono N°1, Moondog, and Radiohead, Loop 2.4.3’s new album flows through a vast array of sounds and rhythms across the nine tracks on Zodiac Dust. Their first CD, Batterie, was said to “reinvent percussion” (Fresh Air, NPR).  Their new CD, nominated for album of the year at the Independent Music Awards, adds piano, voice, strings and two instruments of their invention, the Rose Echo and eLog, both to be featured at the upcoming performance.

Well known for their live shows, recent Loop 2.4.3 performances have been described as “Transportive” (Boston Phoenix), “Intricate and energetic” (The New York Times), “Mesmerizing…stunning” (Time Out Chicago),  “a hard driving set” (Alex Ross, the New Yorker), and “a mind-blowing show” (Sean Boyd, Art Farm Recordings). The recital hall at Ithaca College should be a wonderful place to experience their “feast of gorgeous sounds” (Lansing State Journal).
