Absolutely, he needs to start looping. >cecil taylor interestingly, Oscar Peterson has used loopers. No idea about Cecil Taylor though. >les claypool Les uses looping in live shows all the time now. he uses some pedal for his loops, but I'm not sure what. His looping is mostly very simple (at least what I've seen/heard). >neil young don't see it. >danny elfman why? >maynard keenan? ferguson? Good stuff, Maynard. >bobby mcferrin I'm tempted to agree. But on the other hand he seems to cover a lot of ground without it. It's like wondering what Tuck Andress would do with a looper. He fills all available space already, why would he need/desire it? >mickey hart no idea. But Bob Weir has a pair of EDP's. I don't know what he does with them though. Rob Wasserman also. >jr brown > >if ya know about any of these folks looping,send a link. >your pal, gout boy"owww my pedals" Maybe some of the others you list are looping also but I don't know, I just happened to be more privy to people who owned EDP's over the years. However like Claude, I doubt that any of these folks are going to do anything revolutionary with looping. They may be amazing musicians, but they have their voice already, established long ago. Maybe some will turn their music in a loopy direction and do something remarkable, but most likely not. On the other hand, we have amazing (yet less famous) musicians today in the present revolutionizing the whole concept of looping with new techniques and ideas. Looping is a part of their voice and their music down to the core. Pay attention to them, they are defining the future right now. Nostalgia is fun, we all enjoy it sometimes. But I think if you lose yourself in the past you will miss the extraordinary stuff happening today in the present. From what I can tell, genius is happening all the time. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
