Hey, I'm always the one telling you wankers to stop talking about your knobs all the time. So I'm staying in character, or at least somewhere near that vicinity. >>>I'm quite used to not finding ANYONE, male or female, musician or >>>non-musician, who shares my taste for Happy Family and Djam Karet and >>>obscure Bruford solo albums and rare PFM import vinyl and Glenn Branca >>>discs. >>You'd find most of Bruford, PFM, and Glenn Branca in my record >collection. > >Hmm.... is Scott your type? ;) I was going to bring up my observation that the typical upper-middle-class, middle-aged, college-educated, slightly-arrogant, white-male audience found at most progressive rock shows bears a very strong resemblance to the crowd at a typical gay theater performance, but maybe instead I'll suggest a new topic: Where is loop based music going? What directions will it be taking in the future? Not the gear, but the music itself! What compositional, improvisational, cultural, etc. directions are things heading in? Will it find more or less of a place in popular styles? Will it find more or less of a place in 'high art' styles? What will it be? What might the loop innovators of tommorrow be doing? Remember, its a music question, not a gear question..... kim ________________________________________________________ Kim Flint 408-752-9284 Mpact System Engineering kflint@chromatic.com Chromatic Research http://www.chromatic.com
