Stuart Wyatt asked me to forward this to the list for him. I, myself, feel fully committed to Loopers Delight but I wish all the success and acceptance in the world to Stuart who I will be performing with in Paris sometime very soon. yours, Rick Walker ****************************************** letter from Stuart Wyatt, I've had a lot of people email me offlist asking me to stay subscribed, but I'm going to go out and 'find myself' for a bit, and to do that, I cant have any negative external influences. I have my own philosophies and ideas with regards to music, looping and spirituality, and I have found that I do not understand them enough to be able to share them properly. I cannot explain to other people or argue my point of view when I dont understand fully my own experiences. I'm fed up of putting my foot in my mouth. So, I'm moving to the UK next week and will be free for the first time in 3.5 years. In Paris, I have no space to play... I actually get to play my violin just a few times each month. My apartment here is too noisy and claustrophobic to get into my looping trance... also, the street is not welcoming of me or my music any more and is making it very difficult to find any solitude. I have so much untapped musical energy inside me that I feel as though I am going to explode. I rehearse and play in my head...only in my head... 24 hours a day in a virtual internal personal studio. I want to channel that back through the violin. I want people to be able to hear what I am talking about. I feel as though I have a long and interesting journey ahead of me. As from next week, I will be without internet access, and will enter a cellar room for two weeks. I have the sea 100m away from me and a private garden to relax in. I'm cutting all ties for two weeks. When I come back from this journey, I'll resub, and I'll be willing to share my experiences. I will stay only if I am given 100% acceptance for my ideas, nothing less will do. You don't have to agree with my ideas, but you just accept that my ideas are mine, and work for me, maybe me alone. However, if one fraction of an idea inspires another looper to create and spawn new branches of their music, then it will be all worth while. There has been far too much analysing, arguing, flaming and narrow mindedness on this list lately. Finally, "LIVE LOOPING" is here to stay, so you had all better get used to it. Its not a mutually exclusive group - just a mindset that a growing number of loopers are finding an afinity with. It is just a name that is being given to a certain style of music. I have to correct myself and say that it *IS* a style of music. I never understood it until I heard some mp3's of some artists who are calling themselves Live Loopers, and read the posts of other LD'ers. How many of you have actually listened to a selection on 'Live Looping' music from a number of different artists? Live looping exists. It is here to stay. It can only benefit the looping community and LD. Its late. I have a lot of packing and organising to do. Take care everyone. I'll be back, - Stuart Wyatt http://solostring.com
