RUPLOOPS
When it comes to entertaining audiences of all ages, RupLoops has the job on lock. The brainchild of Vancouver-based Ruby Singh, RupLoops is known for delivering highly engaging, interactive experiences using vocal percussion, rhythmic rhymes, live looping and an arsenal of eclectic instruments from around the world. Welcomed on stages around the globe as an interdisciplinary artist, musician, producer, and composer,
Ruby is credited for delving deeper into the opportunity of educating as he entertains through his passion for blending and amplifying intercultural sounds. RupLoops' latest show, "Magnetic North", aims to calibrate the compass that lives in our hearts and focuses on the connection between humans and the natural world. Through the use of field recording of environments and animals, plant and mushroom music, RupLoops creates sonic ecosystems that invite us to grow our relationship to justice and the natural world. In a time when climate change and human impact endanger our future, “Magnetic North” will encourage us to take action in a world that requires it of us through music, visual art, lyrics and interactive games.
