about

A simple concept: take a cello and hook it up to a bunch of guitar effects pedals. Add adept musicians, quick decisions, and total improvisation and you have Heavy Pedal Cello. Aaron Kerr and Tyson Allison have collaborated in bands for almost 10 years. Their latest (and craziest!) project is based on improvisation; bringing the many varied influences of both musicians to the table to create a truly unique and surprising sound. The music of Heavy Pedal Cello is always created right on the spot. No performance or recording will ever be the same. No piece will ever be replayed. The two musicians never know what each other are going to do. Aaron plays cello, and Tyson manipulates knobs, effects, and adds minimal percussion. Through eye contact and a few cues they can communicate during each piece. No matter what happens, their music is always interesting, unpredictable, and inspired.
