Popis - FOUND MY WAY:
'One of the best subway performers of 2013.'-- The Gothamist Marc Mueller is an imaginative Music Under New York (MUNY) subway musician performing for over 19 years to the present with the highly acclaimed percussive group Mecca Bodega. Co-founded with his brother Paul, the group’s unique hypnotic sound has been heard throughout the subway system with over 2000 performances to date in a majority of the MUNY locations. The group has touched audiences nationally and internationally including showcases in prominent venues such as Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall, Town Hall with Simon 7 (Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion), Merkin Concert Hall and the Celebrate Brooklyn Summer Festival. Mecca Bodega has been featured in award winning films, soundtracks, TV programs, commercials, dance scores, NPR broadcasts of New Sounds on WNYC Radio, a PBS street performance documentary and has composed music for directors including Jonathan Demme for the HBO movie Subway Stories; as well as appearing in the film. Marc has also been performing solo for the last 3 years, expanding his polyrhythmic craft as the proverbial ‘One Man Band’ as StreetMule, promoting his new recording: Talkin’ True Da Tube. He has gained a tremendous following: The Gothamist credited Marc as “one of the best subway performers of 2013”. StreetMule’s tribal soundscape features Australian didgeridoo, Peruvian cajon (rhythm box), African shakers and Indian bells with voice effects played all at once! Additional ethnic hand drumming, ceremonial horns and exotic percussion are added to flavor the transforming world groove atmosphere enhanced by the subway’s configuration and surface materials; beckoning the NYC commuter diaspora to participate in the rooted experience. This globally oriented ‘earth’ music is driven by American ingenuity as Marc delves into the guts of street corner blues, chain gang hollers, funky hoofer backbeats all resonating in a vibrant timbre. StreetMule entices an urban environment to re-energize with the pulse of an organic sonic ritual, primitive yet sophisticated and beautifully refreshing in its immediately tangible discovery. Responding to the explosive live performance, Talkin’ True Da Tube captures the purity of commuter wonder and realizes the past, present and future all at once. Uplifting and danceable, the music evokes the spirit world, personal and yet greater than our own oneness. StreetMule has captivated NYC audiences above ground in clubs and at special events such as: Australia‘s ‘A Taste Of Down Under’ International Festival, NYU’s Creative Time Summit and the NYC exclusive Fashion Week circuit. An inner-city social experiment…body language and breathe…a halo of celestial moments: Connecting to NOW. Positive communication. We are no longer strangers. This is StreetMule.
