wow, sure is nice getting all this free love :-)

digital memory limits aren't such a problem for me (it's my own memory 
that i
worry about!), but the notion of creating really long tape loops as a
performance element (visually and musically) is somewhat intriguing. i 
wonder,
of those of you who have done the tape bit, what is the longest loop you 
have
created?

while on the subject, i wanna thank everyone who's responded to the open 
reel
looping thread. i haven't had time to work on this yet, but hope to get to 
it
soon.
