Hi Loopers: We have been out of the country but now that we are back, we are thrilled at the idea of a compilation CD... Looopers Delight is one intriguing bunch! Here's an idea. Why not ask David Torn, or Robert Fripp or Eno or others with "reputations" in this quirky field to be EDITORS of each CD...not contributors of tracks...but editors of the compilation. This idea is modeled on the way that books like "The Best American Shorty Stories for 19..." are produced. In that series a famous artist/writer is asked to edit (select and organize) a compilation of stories for each volume. For instance Joyce Carol Oates edited the collection one year, making her selection for the volume. Of course there would have to be a pre-selected pool of loops but we could take care of that ourselves and also make sure that people were fairly rotated so that everyone gets his or her shot. Personally the LoOpDoctOrs are more intrigued by what and how David Torn or Robert Fripp might select and edit onto the Loopers Delight CDs then hearing a single contribution of theirs, which actually overshadows or dilutes the creativity and originality that this group represents. In short, we get the brand name association, the creative input and taste of these interesting pioneers, but in a quirky and different way. What do you all think? Best, The LoOpDoctOrs
