Hello to all... Just want to add my thanks to Rick and everyone for organizing the Y2K7 Live Looping festival. This being my first looping festival, I was curious about two solid days of looped music -- would it become tiring -- would everything start to sound the same, etc etc. And after nearly 2 1/2 days of looping, I didn't want it to end! Though we were all looping, every set was unique. The looping medium is not limited to a narrow genre and the offerings ranged from rhythmic to arhythmic, tonal to atonal, pop, jazz, rock, neo-classic, ethnic -- electronic and acoustic instruments, instruments that are blown, plucked, struck, bowed, and a couple of theremins that aren't touched at all. The variety of hardware was also in evidence as the artists used laptops, rackmount, and foot-controlled devices to create loops. The sense of community was extraordinary and to express the community aspect in writing is hard to do. Much of the credit for this goes to Rick and the festival organizers who went out of their way to make EVERYONE feel welcome and valued. I am still on a real "high" from the experience. I left the festival with many new friends, new knowledge, inspiration, and gratitude. Can't wait for next year's festival! Sincerely, Kevin Kissinger http://kevinkissinger.com
