Re: livelooping. Ambient.

my first impressions The name 'livelooping' itself is fairly noncommittal, and representative of an act that any musician who owns a 'looping device' does.


Actually it's also a made up term by a group of people who
have specific ideas about what it means:
Music in which the sounds are the result of an interaction
between a musician and an instrument, while the form is the
result of the interaction of a musician with a looping device.

...you might enjoy that definition enough to adopt it.


Originally "Ambient" referred to music designed to blend with the environmental sounds that would also be present.
...so being minimal helped to achieve that.
Nowadays it doesn't seem to mean that any more.
