[clip] KH: Yet, when I re-read my statement, I don't think I said anything that an intermediate player would not admit if they did some soul searching. In fact, they are things I would have admited a while back, and still do admit when it comes to recording moder jazz in the studio, in one take. (sorry, can't do it to the leve of someone like John Stowell, John McLaughlin, Abercombie, etc....I'm not there). How many intermediate players ARE comfortable playing solo where everything they do is exposed. How many intermediate players wouldn't admit that building a lot of loops and layers with more basic parts that they are capable of playing boosts their confidence and allows their output to sound more accomplished that if they tried it on their one, in one shot? I don't see anything anti-commonsensical about any of this....it's all human nature. Why would there be any shame in admiting that looping technology allows one to do things that he/she can't do solo, on his/her own? Is there anything wrong with this? If one has no shame, then what's the rub? Maybe you inserted words inside my paragraph, suggesting I was placing judgement and saying something is wrong with this. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I think it is a fact within the looping community. > oh... and that dig about loopers with too much money... that also >appeared > to be directed at Kris, but wasnt.
