Hey folks >>I would be interested in knowing if a group of >>individuals consciously sat down and thought about >>naming music as "Jazz" "Rock n Roll" "Salsa" "Blues" >>etc.or was it perhaps just a popular term which >>eventually spread out? But see -- ALL of those musics can be done with 'looping' . I feel that it's not so much a 'form' or 'category' of music as it is a 'technique' or 'method' that can, and seemingly has been - applied to ANY type of music. BTW - I am in Newport RI right now having a great time on a small tour with one of the masters of electronic/experimental music - Don Preston. I'll point ya to the tour diary when it exists - a highlight so far was the Boston gig and the earlier Berklee seminar by Don - fantastic!! Berklee VP and old buddy of Don's Gary Burton showed up at the end - that was tres cool...Remaining dates are below. What do we call the music?? Electronic/experimental/musque concrete and free jazz..... With loads of looping. -peace - andre' (east coast) BTW - how funny is it that BOTH andre's have performed with DON PRESTON. What's going on here???!!! is this some kind of loop??
