*I love hearing you tell this story, Matthias.

These are the spiritual origins of live looping and I'm so thankful that 
you made that journey
(whether Gibson put that chapter in the manual or not).

So much of that journey has impacted my life and music and I know the 
lives of countless other artists
in this movement.

love, respect and deep appreciation,
