It would be fun to get together in any venue: someone's house, warehouse, college campus, random field or ampitheater, etc.... I would have liked to have seen your recital. This idea would give some of us [loopists] a chance to see (and hear) what others are doing. I remember Matthias said something about music being a ritual act, thus, there is something lost in the recording. I feel this way too (although I also love recordings!) My favorite aspect of looping devices is that they have allowed me to capture (and feedback into) my performance. And it seems that Matthias designed the Echoplex DP to be performance-oriented, ie. to remove the obstacles of a standard recording format. A CD or tape is a good way to get an idea of what others are doing (and I like the idea of going ahead with a compilation mix)...but there' s nothing like a LIVE performance! My preferences are: date: any time after Nov. 22 place: anywhere between SanDiego and SanFrancisco - chris --------------------------------------- Chris Chovit cho@gomez.jpl.nasa.gov ---------------------------------------
