RE: 50th anniversary of realtime looping?



I love that album. I did not know it was looping, I thought it was just a repetitive music going slightly out of phase.
Well, a repetitive music is somehow a loop.
Mumble mumble mumble...

> The first livelooping was done on July 9, 1963 by Terry Riley in Paris for a performance of "Music for the Gift". He used two tape recorders, a setup he later called Time Lag Accumulator (the same kind of setup that Eno and Fripp used in 1973). He did many concerts with it during the 1960s. Some of his early livelooping music can be heard on his 1967 album "A Rainbow in Curved Air".
