Bonobo plays The Van Buren on Van Buren Street, headlining his Distance in Static Live North American Tour.
Bonobo plays The Van Buren on Monday, November 9, as part of his Distance in Static Live North American Tour. It's a solo bill, with Bonobo as the only act on the program.
The tour takes its name from Distance in Static, and the set is built around that material. If you've followed his work, you know the sound he's known for: lush electronic production blended with live instrumentation. That's exactly what he brings to the stage here, rather than just playing records. The electronic side provides the foundation, and the live elements build on top of it, so the songs breathe in a way they don't on the studio recordings. It's a full-band approach to electronic music, with the live playing taking as much space as the production.
That blend is the core of what he does. The electronic production handles the textures and the rhythms, and the live instrumentation adds the melodic lines and the organic feel. When those two things lock in, it's a sound that works as well for listening as it does for moving. The Distance in Static tour is built on that same balance, with the live band bringing the songs out of the studio and into the room.
