Howdy- As one who has spent half of his life alone in a room making "weird sounds" and being yelled at from another room (and even other houses from time to time) to "turn that shit down!!!!", I appreciate the "community" of loopers represented by this list. I do a lot of more mainstream songwriting as well as looping/experimental music and it has always been harder to find people who are interested in the latter (as David Byrne said: Lyrics exist to make people listen to music longer than they would otherwise). Finding this list full of people who are excited and knowledgeable about looping has been amazing. Before finding this list I was relatively unaware of what others were doing, loop-wise. Had I known of the ongoing Y2K1,2,3,4 etc., I would have been there. I look forward to the next one, and you can bet yer ass I'm gonna be there. I hope to meet some of you in person. The interactions and feedback I've received from Rick Walker, Dan Soltzberg, Berhard Wagner, etc. have been very rejuvenating to my excitement level for looping and have made me feel a part of something larger....a community perhaps? Thanks to everyone putting positive energy into this.
