OPINIONS!!!? 1) If you like it, it good 2) If they like it, it's good 3) Music which is presented at an inappropriate place/in an inappropriate way/at an inappropriate volume is called noise 4) The downfall of the Western world is being caused by the media (most specifically TV) 5) Everybody ought to make music but most people are too lazy/self concious/busy 6) Music specifically and the arts in general are a gift from (insert the personification of your concept of Grace here) 7) Using looping enables one to manifest this Grace but adds another layer of effort (is distracting) making it sometime hard to relax enought to let the music speak thru you 8) Nobody wants to hear my whining--so I looped it, reversed, put it at half speed, and then muted it!

Hi all I have been thinking about, how we all want our loopers to do this or that ...... or wouldn't it be cool if ... i.e. more options to sound like more things..... Which leads me in some sense to think... With the advance of digital technology making looping achievable in most musical contexts, so the character and individuality of looping has been obsorbed into a bigger picture. DigitalLoopers can now do structures like verse chorus verse chorus repeat, in a way that it would be problematic with analogue equipment. This removal of these limitations has seen a sense of a loss of individuality of the sound of Live-Looping with a gain in its flexability and integration. I.e. looping can now be made to sound like other forms of music generation. However there are exceptions like Andre Lafosse etc. who are creating a new aesthetic out of looping as opposed to simply emulating another musical process.... Both positions are valid and a sign of how versatile a tool looping has become. Its maybe a question of as a looper do you seek to create a new aesthetic or simply to have the option to emulate many previously used aesthetics, like sequencing, multi tracking etc. How that makes sense! Anyone have any opinions? Geoff
