Re: Rafa's One Man Band (Live Looping w/ Ableton ScreenGrabs

Per,
Great video, as usual. Yea I think the focus should on striking that balance between art, performance and entertainment. I enjoy composing live, creating beats and arrangements, then keeping one layer rolling while I start a new song. At the end of one song, I'll switch whichever loop I want to use as a transition into no tempo control, no song control, with a long delay or verb. I quickly press stop in the arrangement section, letting the layer I'm using as a transition play alone, then recording a new loop to use as a clock foundation, and eventually fading the transition loop out. I'll record an  improv video this week, where I don't plan on anything beforehand, and create a jam vehicle type arrangement, for me to solo over, on keys and guitar. This discussion is great btw, thank you guys!

structure is a problem with looping

Doesn't have to be. You can very well use a looper like the EDP or
Mobius where you can stack up as many alternative loops for
"structure". I tend to agree with Rafael  that the challenge rather is
to find a performance strategy that doesn't bore the audience. Reyn's
posted videos give a good example  that this is possible. A while back
I posted a tutorial video for two different techniques to perform a
multi chord progression song with looper and one source sound
instrument (not the "one-man-band" approach):
