Re: livelooping. Ambient.



It's actually pretty simple really. Me and my little brother wanted to be KY's Ramones when we were kids. 
We both wrote songs and sang. He practiced 8 hours a day. So eventually we became KYs Ramones with Chet Atkins on guitar. 
It sounds odd but I liked his song writing much better before he became a guitar god. 
We've since pretty much went our own paths and replaced each other with loop machines. Lol. 
I always make light of my lack of talent because I've always felt inadequate talent wise. I'm ok. I just don't really wanna think so. 
I will be uploading more looping-type performances soon. I feel very ham-fisted around you guys too but it's really hard to compare what I'm trying to do to most loopers setups.

Well, if we're people than you've given yourself away!

There's all kinda of differing wisdom about when to perform, whether an art necessarily be honed before its presented. I say you're ready when you have a picture. Others need the frame to know what theyre looking at is a painting. Technique can be limiting (as in a cage) or it can be the mechanism for liberation. Usually its both, and thats where the art is. The technique is in choosing which cave to stay in, and the art is staying in the cage until its time to leave. 

The good(bad?) thing is you're learning subconsciously, so even if you aim to get worse- after long enough you'll most likely improve.
