the beginning/ending of a thread - NY musicians unite!

[Evan Meyers <evanmeyers@yahoo.com>]

a normal april wed...slow day at work...a question
concerning compression use all over the place for that
optimum recording...a remark on the importance of
dynamics...a comment on focussing on what is being
looped and manipulated with gear (music) vs the actual
instruments that do the manipulation.  what came of
it?  a few sour remarks, a few people getting
offended, a few minds flexing providing point on top
of point on top of counter point and a really nice
discussion on art and music and interpretation of that
art/music and opinions.  not bad in a day.  

lots of great points were made and (aside from putting
my foot in my mouth a few times) i learned a lot and
got to re-evaluate some of my thoughts and
statements...but the most important thing that came of
it...

a tremendous response to a request for some jamming in
new york with/without fancy rigs and with any number
of people!  do i feel bad that i offended some people,
sure...but i'm really glad that this thread happened.

for those who have already responded to me privately
about getting together to jam...expect individual
replies and i am eager to jam with all of you!

since i got a pretty nice response i was thinking of
maybe putting together a list of all the people
looking to jam with new players containing names,
email addresses, phone numbers (if people are up for
it), and any other info that could be helpful in
finding people to play with for fun or for projects in
the ny area.  what are your thoughts about this? 
email me privately if you want to be included in this
with any information that you want others to see...if
you want to include the styles of music that you are
looking to play or if you want to give yourself a
skill rating to prevent or promote certain players to
contact you (whatever you feel would help you find
people that would be if nothing else...fun to jam
with) send it along.  also if you like send along
availability, like weekends only...or whatever you
think is important to include.  i'm thinking that the
only stipulation for this is in order to get a copy of
the list of musicians, you need to put yourself on
it...is that a good idea?  once compiled (if there is
more than 3 people who want to do this), i'll send it
out...

because apparently, the great thing about open loop NY
(which i guess i was unaware of) is that there are no
rules.  all out free for all (with organization of
course)...which can be great fun and can provide great
music/noise/debates...and again, apologies to any
loopers who took offense to my remarks about the open
loop, i look forward to making music (with nobs,
buttons, and all) with you in the future.

ya smell that?  it's the power of the listserve...

from the darkest clouds comes the brightest light,
