RE: First Drum Loop in the book "The Art of Digital Music"
Darn... All these years I thought that was the most brilliant minimalist
drumming I'd ever heard - especially the stops and restarts. Crap, another
beautiful illusion dispelled. (In a Silent Way is *way* up there on my list
of best ever records - I've gone through about 4 copies of it on LP and
CD).
It does bring up an interesting point about loop music, though. There are
lots of pieces I do when I don't do anything complicated in the loop - just
a bass ostinato, usually. It would be relatively easy to find a bass player
who could play any of those parts live without a loop, but near-impossible
to find one who *would*. And extra human variability and/or creativity in
those parts is not always a good thing, for my purposes.
Best wishes,
Warren Sirota
