Elise Trouw | The Starry Plough | Berkeley, CA | June 9, 2018

[@n5cbi]

With as impressive as Trouw's effortless facility with her looping accompaniment equipment as well as her deft playing of the multiple instruments with which she loads it are, it's her voice that is ultimately the most arresting. It is always obedient to her decisions and commands, always where she wants to place it, never giving a hint that it will fail her. It is smooth, silky, sensual. In a paragraph of description from another era, the word chanteuse might have been applied. She delivers vocals knowing not only what to sing, but also what to leave out rather than inflicting a distracting barrage of vocal gymnastics designed to impress rather than touch the listener. Elise Trouw always delivers the goods with confidence, maturity and musicality.

[@EvilHippy38]

Yes. Perfectly articulated and all completely true.

[@johnwattdotca]

I just hafta add that what you are talking about is a very minimalist musical style, vocals included. If she wasn't so young and attractive physically we wouldn't be seeing as much of her.

[@rightuppercut1426]

John Watt You have a point here

[@ChrisPepper1989]

@@johnwattdotca I disagree, very few people have mastered and utilised the live looping technique she uses, and so she is heavily advertised by ableton, the creators of the technique, anyone interested in ableton will come across her. Anyone interested in where looping is and going will come across her, the fact she is pretty definitely doesn't hurt, but I would say its no where near the main factor, their are plenty of pretty girls on the internet

[@johnwattdotca]

@@ChrisPepper1989! I'm going to share my total view. She is a very seductive You Tube presence, in her room, with her looks and wealth around her. This tiny screen and these tiny speakers is where her sound is at, and watching her live, that's where she's at, trying to create You Tube tunnel vision as a live performance. As a former professional musician, and a life-long non-smoker, non-drinker, I asked some friends about her looping and they said she has to have help in the studio, no one machine with one person can do this. At least Billie Eilish gets her older, professional guitarist-vocalist brother to share the stage with her. I'm not seduced by these videos. They just remind me of mild, female vocalist-drummers such as Karen Carpenter, who also lived and performed with her brother.

[@fredflintstone2958]

Yes....exactly.

[@Mooj]

But who plays keyboard?

[@serena4136]

That's how awesome she is 😍

[@francoisviljoen4002]

On the downside she has to be her own roadie as well

[@ArandHovakimian]

so she splits her concert fee 6 times??

[@MacXpert74]

This girl has got everything going for her. Great talent in playing multiple instruments and smart use of technology, combined with a smooth voice and great looks. I think it's only a matter of time until she makes it big.

[@kirdot2011]

Im sure that time is now

[@Mooj]

Turned this on to see what she sounded like live. Was only going to watch for a few minutes. Ended up watching the whole thing. She has such talent and a great voice to match.

[@emmaejwertzmusic6931]

yes

[@drummerseb]

an angel has landed amongst us

[@tylersnelling]

lol at the girl in the beginning who’s like “she’s gorgeous! Wtf!!!”

[@mano1971music]

I've had the privilege of seeing Elise Trouw in concert a couple of times in Los Angeles. Her rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" is so ethereal. It's only a matter of time before the "mainstream" discovers this unique and very talented musician.

[@Snoiz]

Very impressive ! Not only impresed by her great musical talant, but to have the guts to be on stage all by herself, playing all instruments live..... whao ! That's not something anyone would do, especially concidering her young age ! She's just awesome !

[@erroldtumaque3430]

Check out Jack Garratt and Nick Murphy

[@johnlcallaway]

It's amazing what one is capable of if one doesn't know they can't do it...

[@pierredecine4386]

on top of everything, she is a very relaxed performer

[@fredflintstone2958]

She's awesome, but she crushed me when she mentioned that her mom told her about Fleetwood Mac....I remember "Dreams" when it was new! Yikes! The years, like the women, have come and gone.

[@pierredecine4386]

I joined USAF in late'74 at 17 - I know what you mean....

[@artgogogomez5118]

Discovering Elise Trouw's music is such a treat! Her talent is so, so jazzy at all levels! Besides her voice, she brings her hands-on instruments to life! Her looks are just another bonus to her skills...

[@jackpops3613]

Gotta hand it to Elise for taking her music out live. Looper pedals can be very unforgiving! 🙌🏼👏🏻

[@BukkakeTuesdays]

She doesn't use pedals, the loop record and play timings are pre-mapped on a skeleton midi track.

[@bobf5360]

@@BukkakeTuesdays thats exactly right. But they still require some live interaction; and to be fair, the pre-mapping is still part of the craft. At least, IMHO.

[@jeffsmith8467]

Someone needs to invent a pedal that makes a harp glissando everytime she strokes her hair. What a beautiful talent!

[@andreasgajewski]

:D:D:D::D:D

[@phang93]

Thank you for the vid. Crazy to record a whole live with a smartphone. ;)

[@OdionProductions]

Phang yeah most people think I am crazy for doing it. But that’s how most of my concert videos are on my channel. I try not to miss anything

[@OdionProductions]

Phang I try to get the full performance. I love hearing the stories behind everything. The banter. No one ever films those. So I do that.

[@fredflintstone2958]

She looked directly into the lens a couple of times. It was as if she was looking right at me....startling. Anyone else feel that?

[@TheRealJanKafka]

@@fredflintstone2958 I felt that. And I thought, "Why's she staring at him?"

[@Machinistscott]

I love watching her play the drums, guitar, keyboards and bass.........But damn, she can play that hair like no other. love you, Elise.

[@fergieNH]

One of the best live concerts i've seen! She is a master at writing and combining songs. So young, and so beautiful. Her voice is so attractive! Wow! 🌹

[@Drumsholic]

Amazing voice and presence instead of this dubstep atmospheric music!!Nice work from an angel!!!!!

[@BeachJazzMusic]

Absolutely astounding. So totally unique. Great stage presence too. Huge star in the making.

[@hearaboutitlater1758]

This young lady gives me a reason to believe there is HOPE for music after all ! Thank "GOD" for HS band and instructors ! I had all but given up hope for music's future ? Cry Me A River ? Superb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fredflintstone2958]

She's ridiculous....but at least I can close my eyes and just listen, now. Amazed when she mentioned Julie London. This girl is the real deal, as we used to say. I'm no musician, but as I've said in several strings in the last 90 minutes of listening to her(and watching, pig that I am), she's mesmerizing.

[@kingzach74]

20 minutes in, the best song. so beautiful. Nope I'm wrong 34 minutes in.

[@monneratrj]

It's not just the HUUUUGE talent and BEEEAAAUTIFUL voice that this girl has... she is also so damn pretty!!!

[@TheDataMaestro]

So good, so young, not even old enough to have a beer at this hip venue.

[@silverfr3ak]

Dude, thanks for your effort recording the whole thing! I wish I was there, but watching here is something at least. I see you have a small channel, not many views, but yet you do this. Just wanna tell you that always someone will be happy finding some of your content uploaded here. (damn, I'm way emotive today, haha!) Cheers from Brazil!

[@OdionProductions]

Thank you. I love doing these

[@MrLibertyFighter]

Cry Me a River...so smooth, what a great feel! Playing the drums and singing that, man, phenomenal. Keep it up girl!

[@chrisryzinski879]

I'm very happy that You Tube recommended her to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's a talent. Oh, whatever Rick Goodin and Snoiz said as well.

[@ChanellJWilson]

I enjoyed every aspect of this performance. Excellent use of the looper machine and Elise Trouw's ability to command the audience's attention with each instrument.

[@DeBoerVan]
