Re: Trashing vs. Critiquing (was: essential loop recordings)



Hi Andre, 

Thanks. Sorry for the misunderstanding. 

This is a very good list, in particular with respect
to the echoplex and its many possibilities. 

The only looping lps I ever put out were in 1985 (and
not again until 2000). They only sold a total of
10,000 copies and were not re-printed (until very
recently). So I guess I influenced only about 10,000
people (from 18 years ago) and none at all since then.
Which really is not a lot at all in the larger scheme
of things. 

I've played bouzouki, mandola, and mandolin in a
Celtic band exclusively for the last 7 years. I just
recently decided to try some experimental guitar work
again. 

I'd really only heard Fripp and Eno (and Fripps solo
recordings) when I started doing it and I did not
listen to any looping recordings at all between about
1987 and 2000. It is interesting listening to the
loopers from the CT Project and looping CDs being
suggested by the list.

I actually love Adrian Belews work by the way. I
watched his video recently. Everything he does is
musical to me. He seemed to be having a really good
time making the video.

I've discovered David Torns looping CDs and
re-discovered Steve Tibbetts who I had listened to but
didn't know he was looping. They are my two favourite
current loopers.

Peace,

All the very best!
Terry
