People *don't* know, and those that do, it doesn't appeal to them, like playing the piano does not appeal to me. > When you loop etc. what instruments or sounds do you tend to use and why?

My looper exists simply to give me as much time as I can afford and not pitch drift. > Why or why not do you think it gives you an edge over other > guitarists/musicians?

Chasing the bleeding edge will simply leave you with a lot of wounds. I do my thing with what is available. I make sound with anything, though I do have my preferences. If all the loopers and delays suddenly self-destructed in the next five minutes, I would still make music with my classical guitar. And I could make loop based music by adding a few other players. > Do you want something more intuitive that > anticipates, or responds more in line > with you? No. I think I may be in the minority on this one, though. My looping needs are pretty simple, and the existing machines all provide it. 93 Rev.
