essentially yes....need to work on the definition.


With livelooping the form can take on unique features
which take the music out of any regular genre classification.

"any musician who owns a looping device" is likely to produce music where the effect of the looping device is secondary to other considerations of musical classification.

The 12 bar blues is loopable, but you wouldn't want to call
it livelooping.

Let's have another go.......

Music in which the sounds are the result of an interaction
between a musician and an instrument, while the form is uniquely the
result of the interaction of a musician with a looping device.
