Yes, favorites of mine.  The cornet player's name is Rob Mazurek.  He does 
indeed do some great things with sound.  I recommend the Chicago 
Underground Duo record Synthesthesia in particular, but the C.U. Trio 
record Possible Cube is also a favorite of mine.  While there's not an 
emphasis on looping per se, seeing the Trio (actually a quartet) live 
really got me thinking about the possibilities of looping.  Jeff Parker, 
the guitarist who makes the Trio a quartet (also plays in Isotope); looped 
a riff, then contributed synth playing and more guitar.  It's done in a 
group context, and one wouldn't necessarily realize there was looping 
without really paying attention.  Emphasis on music, not method.  Very 
cool 
indeed.

So you saw the Big Briar pedals - did you happen to notice what Moog was 
being used?
