Amplified Bassoon and Me: My Ticket to Authentic Artistic Expression

Amplified Bassoon and Me: My Ticket to Authentic Artistic Expression

In this lecture, Arleigh Savage like to share her journey from conservatory graduate to multi-disciplinary indie artist, orchestral player, and amplified music educator. With recent creative output that includes writing & producing an original album with her cross-genre cello-bassoon duo Sororii, performing with looping pedals, partnering live music with yoga, and launching Amplified (a platform with podcast/workshops/instructional videos centered around amplifying fems in amplified music) – many might assume my musical goals have always leaned “outside the box”. However, this evolution has been very unexpected. Arleigh believes her experiences can help others to feel excited to try something different that lights them up. She plans to showcase the Myers pickup (Grip Plus-6 with Bass Extension) that she uses for an electric-acoustic sound with looping pedals. This microphone system does not require drilling a bocal. It is designed for an accordion, however it works beautifully for the bassoon. She believes the double reed community would be very interested in this product.
