I'm for this approach too. I understand and appreciate the "let it go" philosophy, but for me recording my performances and experiments in the basement is analogous to keeping a written journal of my thoughts and feelings. Once in a while, something comes out of me that is magical....rarely is it ever reproducable...which is why I like having a record of it.  Listening to it can promt those initial creative thoughts and feelings I had, which sparked the performance in the first place.   Of course, I don't record mself when I'm learning or experiementing with some new gear or techniques.

In contrast, for me looping opened up recording again, as I was feeling really sick of the finicky nature of traditional studio multitrack recording. Now, I just play, and my recordings are documents of those moments. Kind of like the Japanese enso character—perfect in their imperfection.

I love that aspect of looping.  To me it's so much
about the process and the moment that recording it has
a Heisenburg like effect on the loopage and it's never
quite as good.  Build your sandcastle and let the tide
take it.  Build another tomorrow.
