Howdy my fellow loopers, Every now and then you read something or hear something (like the first time I heard Jungle/Drum & Bass on a car commercial) that indicates that things are changing. Today, I read the little preview of the Amy X Neuburg/John Whooley show at the Cayuga Vault last week. In it, it says: "Critics sing the praises of her ebullient and miraculous vocals, while professors from Mills College CCM awarded her a masters in electronic music, which may have fueled the presupposition that Neuburg is one of the most brilliant looping artists of our time....." Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's the first time that I've ever read a mainstream press reference to a looping artist without any explanation of what the term meant. The journalist talks about looping as if everyone knows what they are talking about. It's started folks................I knew it would. Far Fucking Out!!! yours, a very happy Rick Walker p.s. This is even cooler because Amy, like list member Andre LaFosse purposefully eschews being characterized, specifically as a looping artist. p.p.s. I now fully expect Richard Zvonar to direct me some article in an electronic music magazine from 1971 refering to someone as a looping artist................LOL
