Loops and Triggers Leading to the Future | David Hoffman | TEDxIHEID

Using pre-programmed loops and a MIDI-keyboard as additional tools, David ventures into his first solo project as a drummer. His idea was to create both a gloomy kind of atmosphere inspired by the challenges we are facing, but also give driving grooves to contemplate our advances into the future. David Hoffmann is a Luxembourgish jazz drummer and vibraphonist, who currently lives and studies in Geneva, Switzerland. He was born and raised in Luxembourg and had the chance to study (since the age of 5) and play with some of the finest musicians there including Boris Dinev, Benoit Martiny, Paul Wiltgen and Jerome Klein. With numerous projects and bands, such as Electronics vs Acoustics and the Parsons-Hoffmann-Peckels Quartet, he became one of the country's most promising young jazz artist. However, in August 2017, David left Luxembourg and embarked on a journey to Chile, where he worked as a volunteer teacher in the "Escuela Popular de Artes". For 12 months he taught the drums, marimba, ensemble and music theory in this exceptional music school, located in the largest poor neighbourhood in Chile. Before his move to Geneva, David studied "Development Studies and Economics" at the University of Manchester while continuing to play at a high level in various bands such as ENKI Quartet, the Manchester University Big Band and Ivory Forest. He has released two EPs with ENKI Quartet and one with Ivory Forest, available on all streaming platforms. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
