The person behind the part
Rhythm as a conversation.
Vera Calder is Ember Meridian’s animated percussionist. Timbales, congas, bongos, shakers, and castanets give her character a wide palette of touch, attack, and movement.
Her fascination is with the exchange between parts. In the band’s visual and musical concept, Vera’s hand percussion answers Money Raines’s hybrid drums and adds detail around the strings and horns. Her energy comes from listening as closely as she plays.
