Wow, mention of Bailey, Braxton and Prevost, on a list about looping! This
really great, a place where it's cool to talk about esthetics and gear,
something very rare on the net.

Anyway, Prevost's book (No Sound is Innocent) is a must-read for any
improvisor. It's a series of short essays that I go back to and ponder
often. Deep stuff. Another great text is "Stockhausen on Music", which is a
collection of essays and interviews. Very inspirational
