Thaks, I definitely enjoyed this! The video cam's built-in compressor  
sounds very good at the very beginning of the first part, I think.  
Gives the overall sound, live guitar plus looped guitar drone, a  
sitar-like feel :-) Like if the looped stuff were resonating  
sympathetically your played notes. If course it doesn't work that  
way, but that's how I hear it. BTW, was that your own custom built  
Max/MSP looper in action?
