Re: City Lights Music Festival and its comparison to a loopfest

[Matthias Grob <matilists@gmail.com>]

well, I would love to read this list, but traffic is rather too much 
already, and if you bring new members talking about sampling, it will 
become harder

I find impressive that in the 15 years before Tyler, no one felt the need 
to adapt the lists subject to a sentence that Kim put on the site. he 
wanted it to be open, which is great, but from the very start it was only 
about live looping and we do not know why Kim radically eliminated the 
"LiveLooping brand" from his LD site.

what is it you are going to stir up interest for? 
the existence of a site where its not prohibited (but not common) to talk 
about sampling?
or are you going to try to convince those people to do it live? 
or are we going to talk more about the phenomenon repetition itself? I 
would love that! as you can see in the LOOP GROOP invitation, my original 
idea was to also invite visual artists and brain scientists to bring in 
their knowledge. 

(even more impressive is the coincidence that only the post of Tyler (and 
very few others) drop into my inbox because of the wrong return address, 
so those are the mails I keep reading hahaha)
