I love it because it lets me compose in real time in counterpoint. And to play in the manner that Terry Riley dreamed up. (or the anonymous French Technician, or Pierre Schaeffer or...) And the Eno ideas
I also love the kaleidophony of it all. I love playing things on different loops at the same time and hearing them drift away. Something I really love doing is "lived looping" where I have my Hohner Pianet (electric piano say) going through various reverbs and so forth, and having a long long duration analog delay (Seymour Duncan Deja Vu or Akai Headrush or Strymon El Capistan) and leaving it to decay over hours, and letting people who normally don't play music to have a go making loops. I've done that kind of thing for decades, leave loops running for days hearing them decay slowly. It requires a tolerant family/house sharers, but it's like watching the weather ig From: 3x09@carlsonarts.com To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: Seeking Inspiration Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2016 15:47:02 +0000 Hello all, I am putting together a new rig, and experiencing the normal challenges along the way, but I’m sure I can figure that all out eventually. However, I thought I would post a different sort of question than we usually see on this list. I would post it on FB but I don’t generally frequent that. So here goes: What do you love about looping? And, I’m not talking the general stuff like “I don’t need a band,” or “I like to hear my own voice layered 12 times” (guilty). What is it about the aesthetic, ethos and the creative process that appeals to you? I’m hoping that some of your answers will spark more energy for me to tackle my technical roadblocks. I’ll do some thinking and answer my own question later. I don’t want your answers to be a response to mine and I want to give it some thought.

Exchange with TC on twitter - they think the unit needs more than 300 mA even though it says right on the unit that it expects 300 mA. They recommend I use the wall wart that came with it, but alas that wall wart is at home in Oakland and I am in LA heading for Arizona. I guess I’m gonna stop at a music store in Pasadena and buy a new TC wall wart. Hope it works! Than you for the advice, groupmind… |
