OK, this doesn't have much about looping on it, but I just got a 3-CD + DVD set of electronic music from Ellipsis Arts called OHM+: the early gurus of electronic music. I haven't explored it in full yet, but the DVD is pretty amazing, starting with a dinnertable interview with Bob Moog and an elderly, stately, gracious Clara Rockmore talking about what a genius Theremin was, followed by quite a fascinating Rockmore performance. Also included is a great video by Beryl Korot, partner to Steve Reich, an interesting but somewhat-overlong animation called The Dust Bunny, to Paul Lansky's music, a 1991 video of Paul Lansky's Lesson with Leon Theremin, and performances by Robert Ashley, Laurie Spiegel, Pauline Oliveros, Alvin Lucier, etc. This is really a historical treasure-trove. Also, it comes with a very thick booklet with extensive program notes. Warren www.warrensirota.com
