Along similar lines… has anyone tried performing Terry
Reilly’s “In C” by looping themselves playing all the parts ?

Hey all-
Just reading on wikipedia and came across a really nice quote that I thought
people here might enjoy discussing from a looping pov.
It is hard to write a beautiful song. It is harder to write several
individually beautiful songs that, when sung simultaneously, sound as a more
beautiful polyphonic whole. The internal structures that create each of the
voices separately must contribute to the emergent structure of the polyphony,
which in turn must reinforce and comment on the structures of the individual
voices. The way that is accomplished in detail is...'counterpoint'.
-John Rahn
I bring it up of course, since counterpoint is one of those things that can be
fairly easily accomplished with looping .... You hear it in some of the
audioclips people have posted here for that matter. I wonder if anyone
here has looped any bach ..... ? Send it over if yah have ....... I
would love to hear that.
