Hi all, Believe me, I' no label-nazi . . . honest! Nor am I especially academic (although I was once the President of the L.A. chapter of SEAMUS). I'm only partly "experimental" on certain occasions and in certain company (or at certain venues) . . . or when it suits me. Ant that really isn't al that often. Mostly my music is an electronic wild-eyed howl at the moon . . . truth be told (heheh). And at heart . . . I'm actually a "folkie" . . . just one from a different planet and/or dimention. But I wrote what I did earlier because a lot of us seem to think/act/talk exactly like I described in my previous email. 1) I've got a guitar, an eBow and/or a looper and a (latest effect of the month) . . . so I must be an experimental musician . . . or 2) I only play improvised music (make it up as I go along) . . . so I must be an experimental musician . . . or (heheh) 3) I play music that no one understand or likes . . . so I must be an experimental musician. See what I mean? I've been guilty of it myself at various times in my musical journey (oftener than I care to admit). Geeze, I bought my first eBow in 1980 (one of the old chrome jobbers). And any device that has been around for 28 years is not all that cutting-edge.
