The exerpt of the Terry O'Brien review that describes his sound as "long slow tone-creepings that inch around one's living room, exhaling grey mysteries and ominous calms" makes me wonder what sort of gems we listmembers could offer collectively in relating ways reviewers and audiences have described our own work. About a year and a half ago I posted what a TV commentator had to say about a performance I did at Boston's Zeitgeist Gallery on a triple bill between Jorrit Dijkstra and the duo of listmembers Michael La Meyer and Jeff Lomas, three very different examples of live looping. Unfortunately, he was lumping together as an homogenous genre music made by anyone with "boxes" (his term for our racks of looping gear), but in general his review was favorable; he described the music he heard that evening as analogous to juicing fruits and vegetables so that their nutrients would dump straight into one's bloodstream. More recently, a Norwegian guy described my sound as "Eivind Aarset for people who don't dance"; I can sort of see what he means by that one, but I think the guy who referred to my fondness for delays a while back by calling me "a duller Edge" was just trying to be like Oscar Wilde. At least that's what I tell myself. :) What sorts of, um, *interesting* things have people said about the rest of you and your looping? -t- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
