Early in my looping career, I took ambient recordings and played over them, similar to the way I played over British invasion stuff when I first started playing guitar. I think I learned a lot jamming over Music for Airports. It started when I put that album on a tape that we'd play during breaks in between sets. One day I was the first to get back on stage. To let the rest of the band know I wanted to start, I started playing along. One by one I was joined by the rest of the band, we faded out the Eno, then transitioned into one of our original songs. This became a part of our live shows for a while. We then took the training wheels off, and never looked back.
