Fripp of course... also tape loop experiments with friends in the early 
70's. 
This led to much use of heavy regen on any box with any delay times over 
~750ms.
Lots of heavy clouds coming out of my old Roland SDE3000 and Digitech 
IPS33b! 
When I heard about the JamMan, I was first in the door to grab one and 
have been
in love with looping ever since. It was great to find David Torn and Bill 
Frissell doing their own unique variants. Terry Riley and Brian Eno both 
fueled 
the fire for different reasons. Now the lust for an OB DEPro looms large!

Future electronic hybrids and cross breeding with DJ's seems very 
attractive to 
me and I'm on the hunt for any collaborators live or via cyberspace to 
balance 
out my guitar madness. I've just added a E-mu Emax sampler to my 
instrument 
list, so things should get deeper and sicker soon!

Pulse on!
