Probably there's as many answers to that as there are list members :-) This is just mine: Back in 2005 I called my cd "livelooping", I thought that pointed out that it was something other than a guitar solo album. I'm not sure where I got the idea to leave out the space, and make no claim to have invented the idea. > > 2)If to brand something, LiveLooping seems more > of a description than a brand name.

Owner is Kim Flint. He objected quite strongly to the term "Festival of Looping" being used for events organise by/for live loopers. He thought it wrong to present what he saw as a narrow range of music as being "looping". He pointed out that HipHop, Industrial etc. all used loops. About that time, the fests changed to "Festival of Live Looping". While Kim's not an active list member here, he certainly coined the term "Looper's Delight" and I don't think it would be appropriate to use that term in the way you suggest. >And I think a fest would actually > be more popular with a singular or more closly > related genres (in some cases - not all). :-) so organize one > > Anyway, I'm sure I've stepped on a lot of toes here. not at all > Sorry if I stirred the pot.
