Re: AMENDED FAMOUS LIVE LOOPING ARTISTS



apart from some already on the list, those are the best, most  
professional and nice guys I met:

Michael Schiefel  http://schiefel.de
of all the loopers I have ever met he went clearly the furthest with  
using most different features for most elaborated compositions and his  
voice is precise and flexible as few voices I have heard, and yes, he  
is fun, too! - and touring through the world... giving workshops with  
looping...

Mich Gerber http://www.michgerber.ch
Swiss upright bass player who toured Europe for many years with his  
trio/quartet which is completely based on his bass loops (including  
very high pitched bowing and rhythmic taping)

Linsey Pollak http://www.linseypollak.com
Australian, touring the world (yes, down to Brasil!) with his strange  
wind instruments. He even loops the noise of a little stick moving  
over his last few hairs on the head top :-) and its fun and groovy!

Laurence Revey http://www.laurencerevey.com
Chanteuse speaking some rare old french like language, beautiful loop  
choirs...

Stefan Keller http://www.flutetrends.ch/
the orchestra out of all sizes of flutes, very percussive!
