Re: Bassloop,the CD.

I'd be doing a solo real-time bass-only track although with any luck 
it won't sound like it.

I like the "made in real-time" distinction somewhat more than the 
"bass only" constraint, partially because I just got a new Roland 
GI-20 pitch-to-midi converter and am having fun layering Korg Z1 
sounds over the bass and might want to feel free to use that. Since 
all fingers involved are only touching bass strings, I'd suggest it's 
all still bass, but at some point it's hard to say and I won't 
nitpick.

btw, I was camping in Yosemite last week. I brought my recording 
gear, laptops and some small instruments with hopes of doing some 
LocationLooping. First it was incredibly noisy in the park, then my 
van broke down and is now in a shop near, of all places, Bass Lake. 
If the timing works out, I'll take my bass with me when I go to pick 
up the van and record there...

best,

Alex
