Sue G. Wilkinson

c than would ever normally be associated with a duo Sue Wilkinson uses her keyboard to create drum tracks, recurring motifs, and sonic beds, over which she will then play other parts, including solos. She sings with an incredibly clear and powerful voice, and with the help of the looper, will create live and on the spot, one or more vocal tracks; which she then will harmonize along with in real time. Michael Cady's main instrument is a 7-string bass which Michael helped design and custom. He records a bass line and then plays the melodies or solos when the created loop is replayed. He may bang on the strings to create a drum loop. Michael also used an Ebow, or electronic bow to create a bowed string instrument effect, and will layer looped tracks to create a string section Michael sits on a Cajone, a box drum, and uses it to create percussion loops as well. The music that transpires is all original and unique to Cypress South with a few choice covers that work well in a planetarium setting. A couple of their favorites are a rousing version of 2001: A Space Odessey as well as Don McLean's Starry Starry Night. You might also hear CS's version of Bob Marley's Stir It Up. The Imagery- Cypress South uses various video clips; which are ethereal, color shifting, and geometrical in nature, and brings them in at opportune moments in concert with the music. While the clips are playing, we manipulate them live to create a mesmerizing visual experience, that is unique to each performance! We can tailor the raw clips to the specs of any planetarium to create the optimal visual impact inside the dome!
