The Y2K International Live Looping Festival is the longest running and largest international live looping festival. In it's 20 years of existence, it has brought hundreds of live looping artists from all over the world to participate and it spawned satellite festivals and directly inspired the creation of live looping festivals in 100 cities in 30 countries, worldwide. Additionally, a large amount of the innovation, technically, in the International Live Looping community has come directly from artists who create their own looping software and hardware (many of which have been featured in World Premiere presentations and performances). 

The Festival Headliners Concert on Sunday, will feature performances by George Demarest (USA), Israel Peña, (Mexico), Katja Šulc (Slovenia) EToOto (Japan) and Philippe Ollivier (France).

George Demarest is an American multi-instrumentalist who has been performing live looping concerts for over 20 years. A highly accomplished classical Flugelhornist and Trumpeter, he also plays keyboards and uses a beautiful singing voice as well as Wind Synthesizers to augment his performances. Israel Peña is a very creative iOS artist who mixes found sounds and synthetic sound into a highly eclectic and idiosyncratic take on sound design and performance. Katja Šulc is an art-chamber vocalist using minimal instrumentation to create an ethereal blend of human voice and processing. EtoOto is a fascinating artist who mixes real time digital painting with his own software creations that converts his paintings into sounds, and Philippe Ollivier is a master Bandolist whose powerful, state of the art looping software, LOGELLOOP he created with his own software company and which he uses to create a beautiful blend of 'out of the box' acoustic/electronic music.
