Heres a little live looping thing I threw together today. All sounds are recorded live (nothing pre-recorded). Using two Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro (EDP) loopers, Strymon TimeLine and Boss DF-2 for my voice, and Line 6 AM4 and Strymon El Capistan for the guitar. Hope you like it. :)
Heres my website, with lots of free music: stateshirt.com

Sona Jobarteh performed in Weimar on invitation of the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar and its UNESCO Chair of Transcultural Music Studies (TMS). The TMS Chair regularly invites artists to bring the musicology students into contact with various musical cultures for inspiration and exchange.
Sona Jobarteh is the first female Kora virtuoso to come from a west African Griot family. The Kora is one of the most important instruments belonging to the Manding peoples of West Africa (Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau). It belongs exclusively to griot families, and usually only men who are born into these families have the right to take up the instrument professionally. Sona Jobarteh combines various genres of African Music and western musical elements.
I absolutely love the sound of Oberheim synthesizers, but the famed OB series is costly and require pretty serious maintenance. The Matrix series has a lot of that Oberheim character for much less money. The Matrix 6 is a bit tedious to program, but its not impossible and its very rewarding. This has become one of my favorite synths Ive ever owned — just give it a bit of chorus and/or reverb to give it some extra life as I have here with my trusty Lexicon. Before anyone asks, yes — I would take this over the Dave Smith OB-6. The OB6 sounds great by itself, but somehow I find it doesnt capture what I hear in my head as the Oberheim sound.
