COLLATED FAMOUS LIVE LOOPING ARTISTS: amended again

["Rick Walker" <looppool@cruzio.com>]

okay,  this will obviously keep morphing a bit, but

obvious ommissions to the lower list would have to be:
Steve Lawson (the UK solo bassist) and
Luis Angulo (Mexican/US/German looping guitarist who has hosted festivals 
in
                    Mexico, Southern California and Radolfzell/Konstanz in 
the south of Germany).
Tim Reynolds (American multi-instrumentalist)

as always,  please forgive any brain farts.   I'm really not an exclusive, 
judgemental person.
I'm just trying to get this together for journalists.

there have also been some people who I've never heard of but obviously 
have 
a large following
regionally in different countries (Markus Reuter, Dosh,  Yoav,etc.).

Someone also mentioned Brian Eno, but really, I have never been aware that 
he was using live looping
with the excpetion of his work with Robert Fripp early on.   Am I mistaken 
because he'd definitely qualify
as a famous looper if he is , indeed using live looping methods in his 
composition.

yours,  with ultimate respect to everyone,    Rick
