groovy...simutanious dimentional existance is a good mantra type thiggy to think about while layin back cosmic loops while clouds drift by this terrain we inhabit on a planet that is spining and looping in our little universe part of even more vast loops of galaxial proportions and on into infinity...
from rainy days to hard days at work the loops expose your soul,sometimes brilliant colors,times of shades of grey... the loops have an aura thats always unique...
one of my favorite loop rituals is sitting in a circle and passing to the left over and over and over ect...
makes me think about time...and manipulating it!!!

Looping as meditation describes me as well. I like to think it's
similar to any contemplative art form. Take for example chinese
caligrahpy. Is there an audience? Does the caligrapher judge the
value of their art by the response of a bar or coffee house crowd? Of
course not. Well, neither do I. Looping (or not, I also play
unlooped classical guitar) exercises my mind and my spirit while
entertaining me. If others like it, great, but I don't feel a need to
seek an audience. Over the past couple of years, I've stopped even
recording myself, preferring to let it go as part of the moment,
hoping to find something new the next time I pick up the instrument.
