ok, thats pretty much what I say when people ask me what music I play.
If I say that I play the guitar, they imagine some rock stuff.
If I say that I use loops, they mosty cannot imagine anything.
So I say that I create a vibe of freedom and peace.
Then again, Bob Dylan said that, too, so it does not really define
anything, but faces clear up anyway! ;-)
Probably because the concept of freedom changed its flavour...
If you really think about it: freedom is not be tied up with a
ongoing loop ;-)

right! this may be some "essence" of looping: the bridge between the
creation and recording process... but how do we bring that across...

Its like trading the time limitation of multi-instrument-composing
against a structural limitation (which you call "only by hardware"
but it will always be there, the more complex the tool becomes, the
more its operation will be the limitation)
>So... in my case, freedom just about sums it up :)
Ok, but how about "us"? are you saying that we play "Freedom-Music" ? ;-)
