>1. Why loop when you can have a duo a trio or a band?is it due to >economics? It is economics and creativity. I can't afford to take a band on the road, and I like what I am able to do with the loops. And now that I've been doing it for several years, I have a bunch of loop-based compositions that I am not able to perform when Im playing with other musicians. >2.do you really need all that equipment to play solo?ive seen solo >players who can entertain us without all of that I can entertain an audience with nothing but an unamplified acoustic guitar and my voice, and I do so quite often. I like being able to present myself in settings from basic, unplugged singer-songwriter to looping techno-fool to full-on electric band. >3.nice but to my ears it sounds lifeless and monotonus Not the way I do it! >4.why would i pay to see somebody just making noise? my kid could do that Lemme see here. Possible answers: Let's hear him. Here's your money back. You've had too much to drink. This is the last time I play a Republican event. >5.looping seems to me made for self indulged people that arent able >to deal with other humans and are incompetent to play the instrument >properly without all that equipment Why would anyone bother to answer a "question" as rude and belligerent as this? >6. nice but dont you think a Band is still better? A band is better for some things, of course, but this music has merit as well. >8.what so special about recording different instruments in front of >us? a band is better because it has more energy and you can speed up >,slow down and bring dynamics together True. This is something other than that. As far as I'm concerned, the "gimmick" aspect of this is the least important thing; the music I make this way is something I enjoy doing and many people enjoy hearing. >9.nice but it sounds too perfect Not the way I do it! >10.why do most loopers play alone?
