Here's one we seem to have forgotten: Bill Frisell. Bill has used short spontaneous loops as ambiance in a live setting for years. I believe he uses a custom device with 16 seconds of infinite delay. During a piece he samples a bit of something, speeds it up, slows it down, and mangles it. Then, he'll fade in the loop at some opportune time in the performance. There is plenty of this on his album _Power Tools_. He shares that drunken, warped sound with Torn but in a different way. Bill F. doesnt use a whammy bar, all his warping is done by bending the neck as he plays. He's got killer jazz chops too.
