Late reply here... George uses custom interactive music software which he calls "Voyager". He wrote it in Forth. He runs it on a PowerBook. I think he uses the voice-to-MIDI function on a Roland VP70 to convert his trombone playing. Voyager is not loop-specific, though it may occasionally do it by accident. It is designed to be a full partner to its human counterpart in the improvisation process. George has a cd entitled _Voyager_ on John Zorn's Avant label which devoted to Voyager.
