RE: the impermanence of looping
Title: Message
I'm
for this approach too. I understand and appreciate the "let it go" philosophy,
but for me recording my performances and experiments in the basement is
analogous to keeping a written journal of my thoughts and feelings. Once in
a while, something comes out of me that is magical....rarely is it ever
reproducable...which is why I like having a record of it. Listening to it
can promt those initial creative thoughts and feelings I had, which sparked the
performance in the first place. Of course, I don't record mself
when I'm learning or experiementing with some new gear or techniques.

In contrast, for me looping
opened up recording again, as I was feeling really sick of the finicky nature
of traditional studio multitrack recording. Now, I just play, and my
recordings are documents of those moments. Kind of like the Japanese enso
character—perfect in their imperfection.

it's so much
about the process and the moment that recording it has
a
Heisenburg like effect on the loopage and it's never
quite as good.
Build your sandcastle and let the tide
take it. Build another
tomorrow.
