[WARNING -- This post has nothing to do with Larry's temper or mailing list archives!] Hello people, A few loopesque updates I'd like to offer forth: Many magazine and website reviews of my CD Disruption Theory have been uploaded to my site. There are now write-ups from the likes of MOJO, Outburn, Guitar Nine, Fuse Online, and... the United Nations FAO CASA Gazette?!?! Stranger than fiction, indeed... http://www.altruistmusic.com/press/ Online availability for the album has been greatly expanded over the last few months, and it's now available at cdnow, amazon, cdbaby, and other sites large and small. Check the shop page or the aforementioned sites for details... For those not familiar with the album, I'll simply say that it's a treatise on the line between sample-based and performance-based music. Tons of looping, of both the real-time and the programmed variety. For starters, I would suggest this clip, which features an Echoplex Digital Pro "solo": http://shoko.calarts.edu/~altruist/Theory1.mp3 I've also just added seven new non-album downloadable mp3 remixes, every single one built entirely off of loops. These include my own music, as well as outside collaborations. A full listing of the tracks is available at http://www.altruistmusic.com/sounds/ One that I'd specifically recommend to the list: -- "You Cannot Come Back (Trinary mix)" is, apart from the drum programming, built entirely off of guitar loops, many of them Echoplex-based. I'd especially point towards the very beginning of the track and the loop which enters at about 47 seconds in as alternatives to the "ambient guitar loop" mileu. (You can also hear this track at http://www.mp3.com/andrelafosse should you care to). Thanks for your time; we now return to your irregularly unscheduled list...
