Re: Live Looping Strategy



I play songs oretty much the same as my CD with improvised solos plus usually some kind of looped harmonised outro/improvisation thing.  Lately i've added some noise effects from a whammy pedal and i've got an EDP which I can't use yet!!!

Hi Loopers,
 
I am new to looping and LD, have learned much in the past couple of months. I have checked out lots of your available music, which sounds awesome. My question to those that perform live is, is each performance you do completely spontaneous? Or do you start out with a framework for how you want to build a song. For example, for those who have a CD out, do you try to repeat songs which are on your CD?
 
I realize there are probably many different answers based on artistic preference, I have been using what I call the tabula rasa method, in which I start playing whatever comes to mind and take it from there. However the lack of pre-planning leaves open the possibility of falling flat on my face in a live setting (right now only my dog hears what I am playing and she is a very good listener but biased).
 
Many thanks in advance for your responses.
