Greetings Loopers! The Loopfest season is over and it was a great year. Here?s the video index for the 2016 Texas LoopFest. (www.texasloopfest.com). We moved the event inside to a smaller venue and live-streamed it. I hope some of you got to watch it. The videos are all posted on youtube and I?ve been promoting them on facebook. As always, if you want to skip it and get right to it ? here?s the whole mess: Texas LoopFest Collection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hIvfP2BLcQ&list=PLjiWJF83CBilSNckraSDbOmA7TN1zyoct This years artists were mostly from Texas and we were lucky to have some out-of-staters as well as Cian from Mexico. It?s really tough to pick out exceptional performers from this year as everyone did a great job. James Sidlo was sublime with his ambient guitar work. Butch Ross was great performing songs with his mountain dulcimer, the duo Momentary Gamelan Ensemble was fascinating as always, Lost Son is a personal favorite of mine ? I always enjoy his shows, Derferlow was a unexpected treat as he whipped out video game controllers half-way through his set and starting slicing loops like a crazed butcher, Breaking Light was musically delightful, Daves Device never ceases to impress me with how hard he works on his sets and considerable improvement from show to show, The Winkler had some pleasant audio surprises this year, Spookstina brought performance art to a whole new level, Cian is clearly taking things to a whole new level, Troll Foot Frass brought funky fun down from up North, Arte Sacre Atelier brought the noise, and Xandra Wong was spectacular. I hope you can watch something from all of them. It was a very special night. We gave away some great pieces of gear from our sponsors, we had a great time, and we did had a few technical trip-ups losing most of Cian?s set, although I did manage to save about 9 minutes of it. Here?s the index if you want to click and watch. There?s some great stuff in there. James Sidlo ? San Antonio, TX. Guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hIvfP2BLcQ Butch Ross ? Tennessee.
