definition looper

["Tilmann Dehnhard" <tilmann@dehnhard.com>]

having a looper on stage makes you a looper owner.
at the moment you loop music live on stage - you are a looper.

this is a variaton of what a clarinet teacher once tolde me:
if you don't practice, you are not a player, you are just a clarinet owner.

best - tilmann
