And if someone else is finding some music inspiring or moving or just interesting, maybe others will too! It's a good thing to share some of the great music we have all experienced. Many of the artists people listed are great loopers, and it is almost certain that nobody here has heard everything mentioned. We probably all have new items on our "cd's to buy list" after the last couple of days! Also, I think that talks like this bring us closer together as a community. Musical tastes reflect a lot of things about our personalities and lives and experiences, and by sharing them we open those parts of ourselves to the others in a way that is easy and comfortable. We get to know each other better and can more easily move from there to richer conversation. I learned a lot about some people here that I didn't expect, and I'm happy about that! And I was also glad to see a number of people venture out who had been shy about posting so far. We're glad to have you, please continue to share your thoughts.... The cd lists maybe are not always about looping, but that's fine. It's easy to move from there back to the loop. But actually, it is about looping if you step back a bit and look at the whole of it. Our collective listening habits reflect a remarkable amount of diversity here, in our looping community. Looping is not stuck in one genre, it crosses a lot of boundaries. These differences among us are opportunities to grow. We can learn from others what we never would have realized on our own, and bring those new ideas back to our own part of the universe. One of my motivations to create Looper's Delight was from my experiences doing occasional tech support for expert echoplex users while I was still at gibson. I was amazed that these people were coming from radically different backgrounds, yet all finding a use for this remarkable creative method! And the different perpectives and musical directions led to different approaches to looping. I thought: these people need to share their ideas with each other! Everyone could take such a leap forward....and so here we are! >And then not even list it up on the page "loop artists" ? Yes, that part still needs work. Looper's Delight is mostly a volunteer effort. Like I've said many times, if it were just me doing this, it would really suck. There are many people helping out and doing a wonderful job. But there is still more to do! The Loop Artists section of the web site is a good example. It desperately needs a loving owner. Please, please, if you have any interest in this, let me know. It's not even hard, I'm sure you could get plenty of help and contributions from the list. >And how about our own sample CD or label? There was the cd project from long ago, but the guy organizing it disappeared. Anybody want to take a project like that? Or maybe we even set up RealAudio sites? Anything is possible. I'm patient. It might not be perfect by tomorrow, but it gets a little closer all the time. 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
