This may be of interest to many of you: <http://www.boston.com/globe/calendar/features/maestros/ram.shtml> It links to a feature in today's Boston Globe Calendar magazine about performance art and the electronic music scene in Boston. There's a brief (although somewhat vague) description of looping, and a couple of LD listmembers are mentioned by name. (David Kirkdorffer and T.G. Noyes, probably others as well... Is Ross Hamlin a listmember? Click on the link to read about what he calls an "improvised vocal/body echo loop massage"; the article actually mentions how he loops with "sex toys".) Loop artist Maria Moran (aka Zipper Spy) is given a few paragraphs, as is/are the Boston Loopers Collective and the Toneburst Collective, whose site <http://www.toneburst.com> contains further info about the Boston loop scene. The part about Teresa Marrin Nakra's electronic conductor's jacket is cool, too. It's not really looping, but quite a few of you have expressed interest in alternate controllers, so check it out. Hey, why should Miko & Co. over in Santa Cruz get to have all the fun? We in the Northeast should have a Loopapalooza as well! Tim
