That would depend on how it was presented. Personally (and considering it only in terms of musical enjoyment) I don't care at all what techniques or equipment a musician uses, and I find it pointless to try to pigeonhole music or musicians by genre, style, category, etc. except as a very general means of description. And I also consider that ANY real-time capture and playback of a performance DURING that performance as PART of that performance might be considered looping, and that is easily accomplished with open-ended delay. (Just look at all the people looping with DD-20s, for example.) But at the same time I can understand how the promoter (or an audience member) of an event specifically intended to showcase a certain technique might be irked if a performer billed as a looper didn't really do any looping. I personally see looping as a tool that may be used (or not used) as required by the music, just as a painter should not be obligated to use every color of paint or every one of his brushes in every painting. As an improvisational musician, I'm never exactly sure in advance what the ratio of looping to non-looping is going to be in a performance, and think it's pretty silly to even think too much about it. But then again, most of my performances are not at events specifically billed as "looping festivals". -t- http://www.myspace.com/nimbletunes http://cdbaby.com/all/timnelson http://www.youtube.com/speleman62 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
