Ep#105: Looping, Improv & Breaking The Classical Rulebook with Rebekah Reid

Send us a text 🎙️ What if classical music wasn’t meant to stay in its box? In this episode of Girls Twiddling Knobs, we meet violinist, composer and loop pedal artist Rebekah Reid, who’s pushing the boundaries of what classical performance can be. Blending classical, jazz and electronic music, Rebekah uses live looping and improvisation to create layered, genre-defying performances that feel both ancient and futuristic. 🎻 We explore how she carved out her own artistic identity, the joy and vulnerability of solo performance, and how to stay creatively free in a world that often expects musicians to stay in their lane. ✨ If you’re a musician, composer or creative who’s felt the pressure to “stick to the rules,” this episode will inspire you to start breaking them—with intention. 🔗  LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE 🔗  Connect with Rebekah:Website >> Instagram >> 🎛️ Beginner-Friendly Gear LinksBoss RC-1 Loop Station >>TC Electronic Flashback 2 Delay Pedal >>Roland SPD::ONE Percussion Pad >>Korg microKORG Synthesizer/Vocoder >>Yamaha P-45 Digital Piano >>Logic Pro (Mac DAW) >>Valhalla Supermassive (Free Delay/Reverb Plugin) >>TAL Reverb 4 (Free Plugin) >> If you loved listening to this week's episode of the podcast, leave a review wherever you're listening now and let me know 💜💜💜 Loved this week's episode?
