I definitely think the looper and loopee concept is a way of  
performing music that may lead into otherwise hidden paths.  By which  
I mean it's a good thing ;-))  I know Darkroom does it almost all the  
time and I also had the chance to try it out at Y2K6, "processing"  
Rick Walker's drums (and other sounding objects) while he was playing  
as well as looping his playing. It was nice not having to play and  
being able to concentrate on building all kinds of "sound happenings"  
to back up or comment what was played. I've always regarded looping  
devices as musical instruments and your idea about Looper & Loopee  
draws on the same attitude.
