Great Job Stuart, I understand and feel what you say. When I get into looping I find myself in a space that feels alive. It breathes and reacts to my thoughts to a point that emotions roll off my fingers onto the guitar travelling from deep inside to the exterior sounds. Sometimes it overwhelms me to a point that I fear doing it "full time" but also crave it. It is more than a drug, it has become an essential passion that must be fulfilled constantly. I have a hard time explaining it but it still feels bigger and I feel it is still growing in me. I hope it never ends Weg >From: Stuart Wyatt <stuart@solostring.com> >Reply-To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >Subject: Re: do you imagine pictures while playing? >Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 09:28:03 +0200 >MIME-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v482) >Received: from mc4-f13.law16.hotmail.com ([65.54.237.148]) by >mc4-s13.law16.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Thu, 26 >Sep 2002 00:33:44 -0700 >Received: from hemlock.violacea.com ([207.228.238.9]) by >mc4-f13.law16.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.5600); Thu, 26 >Sep 2002 00:29:10 -0700 >Received: (from looper@localhost)by hemlock.violacea.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id >DAA28744;Thu, 26 Sep 2002 03:28:36 -0400 >Resent-Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 03:28:36 -0400 >Old-Return-Path: <stuart@solostring.com> >In-Reply-To: <005601c264f5$40726880$0e0aa8c0@upstairs> >Message-Id: <7E724D64-D121-11D6-BC2A-0003934B4712@solostring.com> >X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.482) >Resent-Message-ID: <G77heD.A.DBH.kcrk9@hemlock.violacea.com> >Resent-From: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >X-Mailing-List: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> archive/latest/24747 >X-Loop: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >Precedence: list >Resent-Sender: Loopers-Delight-request@loopers-delight.com >Return-Path: Loopers-Delight-request@loopers-delight.com >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 26 Sep 2002 07:29:10.0968 (UTC) >FILETIME=[6820DB80:01C2652E] > >This is a very interesting topic, and quite personal ... sorry if I start >rambling. > >What I feel when I loop is better than any drug/experience/feeling, which >is why I have and am sacrificing everything to continue doing what I'm >doing full-time.
