>This brings me to my question: what other obscure artists are listmembers >listening to who might be of interest to loopers? First of all, anybody who's a fan of Tipsy should check out the "Organ Transplant" CD's by Stock, Hausen, and Walkman. I personally like Volume 1 a bit better. It's a very similar idea, except SHW's tracks don't get quite as repetitive as Tipsy's. I also love "Descargas" by Los Samplers (aka Atom Heart). It's a CD of cha-cha, samba and mambo music that's chopped up, severely tweaked through granular synthesis and bit rate reduction, then rearranged to create new cha-cha, salsa, and mambo music. Other great related band projects by Atom Heart include Midisport, Geez 'N' Gosh, and Senior Coconut (best known for salsa covers of Kraftwerk songs). Alog - "Red Shift Swing" Most people who've heard this describe it as 'Oval meets Tortoise'. There's a lot more to it, though. This disc is full of warm drones and skips, source recordings, and things that could best be described as 'musical dissolves'. Dead Voices On Air - "Shap" A fantastic disc of organic, textural loops of found objects, vocals, and simple string/percussion instruments. This is one of those guys who's live setup would simply be a few mic's run into loopers, and a pile of playable junk aroud him. It's about 5 years old now, but any looping people who haven't heard it yet should give it a listen.
