Yeah, I tend to think of loops as being only a small part of the live/recorded imporvised or composed experience. A small part of the canvas, sometimes you need to do alot sometimes a little; sometimes intense noise, sometimes tonal bliss . . . If all you are doing is looping, well I don't know . . . are you playing music or IC chips? . . . I only say this because I have friends who have gone this route and I'm not really sure that it leads to what I consider an important factor in music: human interaction. (Often have the same problem with totally pre-recorded concerts or music concrete.) > ---------- > From: Kim Flint > Reply To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com > Sent: Monday, February 2, 1998 4:04 PM > To: LiebigSA@maritz.com > Subject: Re: location & Loopers' CD > > At 03:44 PM 2/2/98 EST, paparuda o o wrote: > > > > >yeah! even more, i would actually like to meet other loopers; > > I think that is generally a great idea, and probably my biggest > motivation > for creating this whole monster of an internet address!
