RE: The Effects Of Looping...Or am I loopy?



Right on!

I would say anytime I've been totally immersed in performance, playing
ambient or rock music, I've experienced some kind of time distortion.  

Generally, I feel the spaces between parts are greater - as if time were
slowing down.  It feels like I am better absorbing smaller and smaller
moments, or being so concentrated I can feel little things with equal 
effect
in the same way big things other times may be needed.

I dont want to come across as some kind of flake...
but...
I may anyway.
Have any of you loopers who are doing soundscaping noticed that your 
perception of time is altered during the soundscaping?
I don't meditate in the Buddist or Yogi style, however I have heard of 
this 
effect from people who chant.  I've noticed it several times during live 
performances.
Am I sitting to close to my old GR300...or is this common?  I can't ask my 
"normal" musician friends as they already think I'm crazy for 
soundscaping...
"yeah man...I can warp time with my DOD Dimension 12, far out.."  That 
would

go over well.
But seriously, am I losing it or what?

PS I am drug free.  Although I usually drink Camomile tea when I'm 
soundscaping.
