I have not heard this song, what is this "magic" you believe "Pusyfooting"
suceeded in?  "Magic" is very important, perhaps I'd call it that moment
when--
"...damn..."  


In general if you think that people do not loop, I generalize, because of
ignorance, why do they maintain the status quo?  I mean they want certain
visceral experience of the medium, do you think in your looping you can go
"beyond" them?  This raises query of old vs. new, conservative vs. liberal,
inferior vs. superior, but perhaps it isn't so polarized.  Maybe you would
submit that it's just as well to play without looping but since it exists,
why not?  Is this your attitude, or is it something deeper? 

With respect to drum 'n' bass and loop ensembles, I have a couple of
queries.  Namely, is drum 'n' bass a fad, or will there be a carryover from
it's hectic drops?  Secondarily, if we have loop ensembles as you suggest
we might, how will interaction between members take place?  Would looping
devices have to be more advanced, moreover integrated?  How?  Would loopers
start working on networks, and when they got together to perform, on
mainframes? (;
