Re: Summary of Violin Loopers Question



Don - Since you're including looping cellists - cheryl o
http://www.cellojuice.com loops with an AKAI Headrush
and Line 6 DL4, performs regularly with Planet Of The Loops
and has employed her looping techniques in live performances
with dreamSTATE, Sylken, Richard Underhill, Alan Bloor
and many other ambient and experimental artists.

BTW - there's a good usage of "dark river", a live looping excerpt
from cheryl and Planet Of The Loops founder Andrew Aldridge,
in "intro-x" a little film by Thunderbolt Video which can be viddyed
online at http://www.thunderbolt.de/tvp_introx.html

Cheers,

PS - Hugh Marsh is brilliant - I was lucky to see him
perform with Cockburn a couple of times. (No looping then.)
