I may be a bit behind in terms of electronic music, too. It does not happen here in Bahia. I saw Carlinhos Brown yesterday with about 20 musicians plus samples - what a confusion :-) I was rather relating to the kind of repetitive experiences we mostly talk about here: The prerecording brings more security/perfection with less work, so it may seduce to loose curage to do a fresh loop live - well I gess veryone understood that :-) Or: Now that we worked out and documented what live loops are and why they are an interesting alternative to electronic music, we can easier mix it all up, and all additional flexibility is positive... -- ---> http://Matthias.Grob.org
