differing approaches [was Re: The LOOP TRIO TOUR-Echoplex Clinic]
Title: differing approaches [was Re: The LOOP TRIO TOUR-Echoplex Clinic]
nicely articulated, scott--
definitely looping tools can be many things to many people.
one thing I notice is that some looping performers seem to be driven/guided by the machines and their properties-- in some cases, the music seems subjugated to the technology-- whereas other performers integrate the tools more transparently, and the music is just music that happens to be made using loopers as well as whatever else.
for me, my loopers are just more instruments, as is my delay, my bass, my tabletop mixer, etc. looping devices made it possible for me to actually play a music I'd been imagining almost since I started playing. I think my favorite piece of it at the moment is the way multiple overlayed loops take on a life of their own, and with two non-synced loopers, create shifting rhythms that land in between meter, and would be almost impossible to create otherwise.
thank god/ jah/ spirit for engineers.
