Watch Erin Barra (Mamma Barra) re-create her take on Paul Simon's Graceland from scratch.
This video was an excerpt from her Elite Session in 2013. Erin builds the rhythmic foundation of the track from the ground up using the Ableton Push. Kick, claps, bongos, bass line and chords that she uses for the performance are all created in front of your eyes. Then she proceeds to lay the backing vocal harmony parts down as well.
Once all of the parts have been created she then gears up to perform the track as she would in a live setting.
Performance starts at 06:07
Following the set up phase, Erin brings her unique rhythmic sensibilities and melodic interpretation to the 1986 Paul Simon classic in her performance using Ableton Live and the Push. "
