Re: What would loopers do without power?

[Dan Ash <Daniel.Ash@Verizon.net>]

It occurred to me that a 'player piano' approach would be pretty simple, 
and that a 'looped' accompaniment could be prepared this way...

In my case, I enjoy the improv process (danger and happy accidents being 
the key) so I might not want to have to pre-program the other instrument 
unless some sort of 'randomizer' could be applied.  Given the caveat 
that electricity is un-invented, I might just answer 'I wouldn't loop 
any more'.
