LOOPSTOCK 2003: an appreciation
The thing that really impressed me about Loopstock, outside of
impressive
and fascinating sets by everyone and really informative clinics that all
added to my knowledge base was that there was an extremely palpable since
of growth in every single artist from last year's Loopstock.
Everyone was much more sophisticated technologically by a large factor;
everyone was much more together from an aesthetic and musical place and I
never found myself, even once, sitting politely through someone's set.
Our really wonderful community is really growing, not just in numbers
but
in sophistication and artistically.
I feel extremely proud to be a member of this community and I feel greatly
indebted
to Hans for his vision in putting together a very memorable LOOPSTOCK 2.
I came away from the festival invigorated both artistically and
technologically and with an even stronger since that we are all
representing
a really valuable and necessary movement in music here in the early years
of
the Naughties.
Because I'm just inundated with all of the details and logistics of my
impending
3 month solo looping tour of Europe and the British Isles, I haven't had
any
time to think about producing this years Y2K3 Festival in late
summer/early
fall in Santa Cruz, but when I get back and get to it, I know that Hans
Lindauer has significantly raised the bar for our next big Community
LOOPING
FESTIVAL..........
Thanks, Hans..........your rock my friend!!!!
appreciatively, Rick
