New sounds and site updates from Andre LaFosse



[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...

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":

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

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...
