I like that idea, but my ability to set up a gig depends largely on the genre of music of the loopers. ...In that my community contacts specifically revolve around experimental/avant-garde music, and I wouldn't know what to do for people outside that genre. I'd also add that not using the list for promotional gain should include not using it as a gig/cd release spam list. (I don't mind getting those announcements through my membership in discussion groups, but I don't like having my email address harvested for someone's personal promo mail.) I have some contacts for setting up experimental/avant-garde shows in the San Francisco Bay Area...and I now have an apartment where someone can couch surf for a day or two. -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com New release "The 3am Music": http://mattdavignon.bandcamp.com Podcast! http://ribosomematt.podomatic.com On Sun, Sep 15, 2013 at 3:39 PM, Rick Walker <looppool@cruzio.com> wrote: > Towards The Creation of an INTERNATIONAL TRAVELING LIVE LOOPERS DATABASE > > CARPE DIEM: to all the Live Loopers who have traveled a long or short > distance to, and performed at an International Live Looping Festival: > > I am so gratified that the International Live Looping Festival concept > that > we pioneered in 2001 has spread, this summer to London, Paris, Cologne, > Berlin, Neunkirch (Switzerland) and in a few weeks, to Portland, Seattle, > San Jose, Santa Cruz and San Antonio. > > It suddenly occurs to me that with possible similar festivals planned > next > summer/fall in Florence, Rome, Vienna, Zurich, Zaghreb, Tallinn, > Singapore, > Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok, Manila with the addition of repeats in all the > places > that had them this year > > ....that we are now poised to create a DATABASE of live looping artists > with > contact numbers so that we can all, within our means, begin to travel to > other cities and countries to continue our artistry. > > To be willing to say to the Live Looping community, "I live in this city > and I would gladly put you up for a couple of days if you came here to > do a > live looping gig that I produce for us", whether that gig be a one off > event or a small or even large festival" > would greatly reduce the cost of travel and increase our community. > > In that spirit, I would like to propose that we create such a list. > replete > with > a photo, URL of website or sound/video examples, description/bio of > yourself as an artist (brief) and contact information for other loopers > to > connect with you. > > 1) It will need to be collated before it is made public and should > probably > be > sent to an individual collaters e-mail list, instead of these forums > 2) Whoever collates it (and I will volunteer if there are no other > volunteers though I'm in the middle of coordinating the large main > festival > so it will take me a bit of time) should then post it to > a) www.livelooping.org > b) www.loopersdelight.com > c) this Loopers Delight Face Book Page as a document > d) any other relevant music forum that we think is appropriate > 3) WHOEVER HAS ACCESS TO THIS LIST SHOULD PROMISE TO USE IT ONLY FOR THE > PURPOSES OF CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITY and SHOULD NOT give it out for any > other promotional purposes or sell it to anyone for commercial gain. > > I would imagine that it would be easiest to send to an individual e-mail > address for the time being . > > Would anyone want to volunteer to help me with such a database (even just > taking in information now until the Main Festival is over). > > Rick Walker > founder Y2K13 International Live Looping Festivals >
