Re: 'nother Newbie Question pt.2

Hello,
Being a new guy, I was wondering if any of you had
a/any suggestion/s for divorcing one's self from
the "song" mindset when looping? After many years
of approaching the composition of music from the
song/structured format, I'm leaping into the looping
deep end and the improvisational nature of looping,
and am interested in your thoughts and approaches
to it.
Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Chris Olden
p.s.-I've really been enjoying the threads over the
past few days. Great stuff!
I started looping about a week ago! its great i come from a similar past and approach looping like this...
(so far) i think that looping is a no rules sort of mind set... i try letting my mistakes guide my loops right now... and work them into the tune... (it actually makes my stuff sound smarter LOL)
OK so... With my nine string bass, I imitate a hip hop kick drum sound (my low F# string is 23hrtz) and get that loop started. Then I imitate a snare tone...
I add a hi hat imitation if necessary (harmonics), then a bass line and then I solo over all of it...
I record every one of my loops to monitor improvement by adding my roland vs880 into the chain...
Thanks,
