Julianna Barwick will perform with William Basinski at Gabe’s on Tuesday, April 2.
Barwick loops layer after layer of her ethereal voice over understatedย piano andย guitar samples.ย You’ve likely heard loopers before, but not like this.ย Barwick takesย the popular looping mechanicย and elevates it to a level that borders on gospel,ย creatingย sweeping, meditative musicย that’s fit for a cathedral on the Seine.ย 
Julianna Barwick is devastating; like a life affirming cathedral full of musicDr. Clitterhouse
