The discussion about "What do we call it" is certainly interesting, but I think the "it" in question is not the whole of "loop music" but just the "ambient-experimental improvisations employing loops" category. "Loop music" includes a lot of other music, some of which even has well recognized names and well known and populated venues for its performance! resisting oppression by the ambient tyranny, kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
