BLACK TAFFY DALLAS Black Taffy (Donovan Jones) is a Dallas based composer and performer whose current focus lies in pairing ambient music with large bass and percussion. The first born son of Pentecostal music ministers, Donovan grew up witnessing the power music has to induce trance and encourage spiritual awakening. Eventually he drew parallels between voodoo, the occult and christianity and left the former to immerse himself in the latter. Sometimes performing with only a vibraphone and cassette decks, he frequently employs the use of cassette tape loops and other antiquated mediums to create pillowy worlds of wow and flutter. He recently live scored a modern dance performance with Dallas based Danielle Georgiou Dance Group (DGDG) and is currently collaborating and performing with many other talented Dallas artists such as Lily Taylor, Sudie and Francine Thirteen. Donovan also spent the past 8 years composing and performing with the instrumental band This Will Destroy You. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ booking, remixing, beats, original compositions, sync info: dono.blacktaffy@gmail.com BLACK TAFFY’s tracks MEMPHIS by BLACK TAFFY published on 2016/10/31 06:23:23 +0000 Live at Texas Theatre [vibraphone : tapeloops] by BLACK TAFFY published on 2016/09/25 02:19:58 +0000 LIVE AT DAMN XI by BLACK TAFFY published on 2016/01/31 19:41:30 +0000 LIVE AT OUTWARD BOUND MIXTAPE by BLACK TAFFY published on 2016/01/14 18:39:52 +0000
