Their words would be laid over in several layers. It would be interesting to observe how the words sound, to reflect on their meaning and mutual synchronicity, and to see how they slowly disappear into ambient noise. I know that my description may sound rather dull, but I have done some experiments with voice loopings and I believe it will be good and fruiful.</FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arrus BT"></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arrus BT">It seems to me that&nbsp;looping offers many possibilites how to encourage creativity and spiritual growth.</FONT><FONT face="Arrus BT">&nbsp; I wonder if there are some loopers who would utilize looping techniques in some forms like I intend to.&nbsp; Or, can you offer and suggest contacts on people who would do this kind of things, or some resources, especially from clinical settings?</FONT></DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arrus BT">petr</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arrus BT"><A href="mailto:pepetr@crnet.net">pepetr@crnet.net</A></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
