RE: why we founded this list



Thanks Matthias,
"Why do we do all this?" Well, my answers:

I only have one sister, but I was so happy when I found out that I had many
muscial brothers sharing the same passion :) That's one of the social
aspects I really like about this community. 

In addition to that, I believe live looping can add some magic to your 
music
and has the potential to become a sort of 4th dimension and be the virtual
musician you can but also can't control. I personally like to create
constantly flowing music which is never the same, musical paintings you
build up from scratch, slowly adding new content while fading out others. 
It
allows you to play the unplayed tunes and textures which makes it a very
powerful composition tool imo.

We haven't met each other in person but I like your ideas about live 
looping
and I think it's important to promote it. Not because if the technique
itself, but as I explained because of the 4th dimension. I believe the
technique is only interesting for musicians, and the public is only
interested in the music.

Anyway, I like this community and I'll continue to promote it with
organizing live looping festivals. So there will be a 2nd edition of the
Antwerp Live Looping festival in March 2010. "The show must go on" :)
