Asumaya

Luke Bassuener, a prolific Madison musician from groups like This Bright Apocalypse and Control, obviously has a lot left in the tank. That is, at least enough to become the one-man band, Asumaya, perched behind a drum kit with a bass guitar, stacking loops on top of loops to create big, spacious sound. Watching him create “Be A Drop” live means patiently waiting as he adds a hand drum, some more clattering percussion, and a bassline, one at a time, before he starts in playing another bassline and drums with his feet while singing. It also means being astounded when he cuts it all off so he can start something amazing all over again.
