The winter has finally passed even here in Sweden and we're slowly starting to crawl out from under those icy rocks where we hide during the dark part of the year. On this festival documentation page, by Bernhard Wagner, there are lots of links to other festival documentations at the bottom of the page: http://loopfestival.com/ Sufing around those links should give you a good general overview. When I arranged a looping festival here in Sweden in 2003 I decided to make it more like a tour based around a small group of traveling musicians. Starting one year in advance I sold the package to paying venues and invited the venues to place local musicians to join us on stage or do their own sets. This worked well for Sweden, but maybe one big festival at one fixed date is a concept better suited for Berlin, since Berlin is such a big city and also geographically located in a much more crowded part of Europe. Personally I think it's a great idea to put on a festival but a bad idea to make it a contest.
