I can agree with this.  I do use looping to construct new music.  I just 
don't see looping as a style of music.  Even starting with the idea that 
you 
are going to loop and construct music from the loops, you still have 
freedom 
to create a wide variety of styles of music.  I guess I'm just trying to 
encourage him to look beyond looping.  Looping is wonderful but it doesn't 
need to define your music.
