I just added the 28th video to the "more than one musician" playlist at http://youtube.com/livelooping
there are only 22 in the "one man band" playlist
thats because I only consider those who really achieve a kind of band sound, by playing several instruments
most create new sounds with layering only one or two instruments and its sound variations - which we usually find more interesting, right, Per?


Yes, I agree. I too understand "One Man Band" as when one person loops layers that simulate the sound of a compete band, relying on band tradition in instrumentation and arranging.

And yes, I too find it more fun listing to - and practicing - looping where the player uses maybe just one instrument armed by creative looping techniques to create different sounding but complimentary musical parts.
