Black Taffy

Genre

“Black Taffy nests between the walls of neoclassical and smoked-out jazz-beat production”

-NPR Music

Accompanied by Danielle Georgiou Dance Group

“Over the past seven years, Georgiou’s innovative work has earned her critical accolades and a devoted audience.” –Patron Magazine

Black Taffy is a Dallas based composer and performer whose current focus lies in blending 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 drawing parallels between Christianity, voodoo and the occult, he left the former to immerse himself in the latter. Sometimes performing with 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.
