From: "loop.pool" <looppool@cruzio.com> 1) Their equipment setup MD> A Roland DR. 660 (drum machine) run through a Dr. Sample (for FX), then a DL-4. It's not enough. I'm looking at adding more processing devices in the future. 2) Their rhythmic philosophy or approach to using looping MD> I'm trying to use the drum machine interchangeably as an intuitive improvisation/melodic/textural instrument and as a percussion instrument, and to blur the lines between them. I started running it through a looping device because I felt that the internal rhythm-programming ability was too rigid and not well suited for improvisation. (Although sometimes I still use the internal rhythm looper to turn my loose totterings into strict but unusual rhythms.) I'm still figuring a lot out, but one of my goals is to use the musical potential of bad timing. 3) Some favorite tricks or techniques that they use in their live shows MD> A few months ago, I discovered a "yo-yo" effect at a show. That is, I recorded a loop of sparse drum sounds with long reverb, reversed the loop, and manually played reverby drum sounds a second or so before each reverse reverb drum sounded. 4) Any thoughts on how to use live looping tools to increase rhythic acuity MD> Don't depend so much on the looping tools. :-) _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page – FREE download! http://toolbar.msn.com/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/
