Most of the time I'm turned off by prerecorded loops. A lot of performances have lost points with me because the musicians put on a cd of the musical background and simply soloed over it. The same goes for pre-programmed drum machines. To me it's a turnoff. Part of the challenge behind making a live solo (or small group) performance work is to find ways to do everything you need onstage, which includes cutting some elements that might not be necessary. But then again, I come from a very improvisational background. Also, my latest live performances have been built entirely on prerecorded loops. Those have been a different approach though. It involves getting 4 tape recorders of different field recordings to sound good together. Most of the loops are not in recognizeable rhythmic patters, and I what I do with them is rarely something I planned the night before. I'm feeling a little ill today, so please forgive me if this message comes off as a little too something or other.
