Re: Structure & Freedom (was 'more loops)



Uber nerd!! ha!  i'm just a dorky kid in the corner with his tuba
making silly noises.
However, I think the idea of floating insanity breaks inside of
structured songs is the way.. allows you to go nuts, but find a path
back to the golden land...  I have some things to show you ricardisto
on the new lappy that are lucious!

What have other folks on the list used musically as indicators of
"time to return to the mothership"  like James Brown did calling out
"take me to the bridge!" only more subtle maybe?  on stage
communication is what i'm trying to figure out, while you're buried in
the jam...
