Subject: My 28 month old's first shot at looping...

 

Well, this is definitely not OT...but it's also not the most serious of topics either!  This evening, I decided to give my 28 month old twin (Tristan) his first shot at looping. I plugged an SM57 into my Boss RC-2, and then into a cheap Epiphone battery powered amp with some distortion.  I hope you get a real kick out of this. I laughed my ass off. I could only get so much out of him, because of the competing balloons nearby and after a while he became bored of my simple setup. :)

 

 

It's amazing how fast toddlers learn. After 1 minute of watching me operate the RC-2, he had already figured out how to turn on the drum guide beat and stop the loop, restart, etc.  And of course, if you know 2 year olds, after that he wouldn't let me touch the gear, but insisted on being the one to control the knobs, unplug wires, and basically mess things up.  

 

And then the whole feedback thing with the mic was totally his own doing. He's never seen that done...an experimenter at heart!
