Much of what I hear in the "jam band" world is pretty dismal stuff. >What is left after stripping every other possible unique factor away >from his set is that he appears to be one of the only successful >guys doing it for large crowds... That is worth something. I am a songwriter first an foremost. I use my loop devices for both accompaniment and improvisation. I don't think everyone who uses loops has to spend their life at the bleeding edge of looping technology - it's okay for it to be a tool in service of their own muse. It's likely that my music isn't weird enough for some of you. I can live with that. But I feel that I'm making good use of the tools. -- David Gans - david@trufun.com or david@gdhour.com Truth and Fun, Inc., 484 Lake Park Ave. #102, Oakland CA 94610-2730 Blog: http://logblog.gdhour.com Web site: http://www.dgans.com
