playing with others ll

<PRE>another marathon playing session today.....drummer, guitar/bass, and 
yours 
truely on guitar ->zoom2100 ->digi.space station ->boomerang+ ->fender 
champ.....(one very easy carry).....the zoom prior to the s.s and the rang 
gives you the opportunity to take those three 5sec loops and warp the hell 
out of them and drop them into the rang for a great big amount of sonic 
craziness.....i can not tell you how happy i am to integrate my loops into 
this free improve format.....i can see very quickly how often i go for the 
"known" licks and runs, got to do something about this.....but after about 
3.5 hrs (one tune!) i began cutting loose (as you young folk would say) 
and 
what a refreshing feeling after bangin away for so long.....what really 
blew 
my mind was the quality of the recording, playing into a mic is very hip 
after going direct for so long, we recorded to cassette btb.....luddites 
one 
and all.....this "free improv" stuff is muy interesanto, key does not 
matter, 
chords do not matter, the beat seems to have some importance and for that 
i 
am glad, a place to hang a hat so to speak.....its hard work to play this 
way, thank goodness i have loops and warpage to fall back on.....shows are 
a 
comin im afraid.....:).....michael
