"Revolution #9" had a pretty big effect on me. I hadn't heard anything like it before, and it gave me a lot to think about! Certainly one of the first sound-collage type looping pieces I heard. I certainly hadn't realized just how adventurous the Beatles had been with their music. another, similar type of track that I really liked at that time came from an odd source. Steve Vai's "Little Pieces of Seaweed" from an (I think) unreleased album called "Flex-able leftovers". Extrememly warped, funny, and very adventurous track, with some looped sound-collage elements. kim ________________________________________________________ Kim Flint 408-752-9284 Mpact System Engineering kflint@chromatic.com Chromatic Research http://www.chromatic.com
