Re: How often do you practice live looping?

I like to put distance in between sessions. Like my herb, I like it consistently but not non-stop... I appreciate my time with it more that way. I'd say as of lately, 2-3 times a week. And when I say lately I mean, the first time in over a month ;)

I'm recently learning that I don't practice nearly enough. It wasn't bad when I had shows once or twice a month - at that point, if I practiced too, I probably would've pushed myself into typical matt-isms. Lately, but it's been a few months now I can see how my skill has atrophied.

I had a practice session last night for an upcoming duo performance. I warmed up ok after about 20 minutes, but apparently I was also out of practice in having an intelligent discussion about the kind of improvisation I'd like to aim for. I felt sorry for the poor lady who was trying to understand what I was after.

If you want to have success at what you're doing, keep practicing and keep challenging yourself!

I don't practice, I just play.

Till now you seriously considered yourself to be the body and to have a
form. That is the primal ignorance which is the root cause of all trouble.
