ONe point in using loopers to perform music is that it takes some
workload off your hands' instrument playing. So even a harpist should
be able to lift a finger once in a while.

Another point is that looping can introduce machine-like timing that
is almost impossible to create by only organic instrument playing.

Third point being that looping may create other-worldly sounds and
musical parts that traditional instruments can't produce for you.
