RE: Loop approach: Loop as effect

["Liebig, Steuart A." <Steuart.Liebig@maritz.com>]

(musical instrument = device physically and interactively 
manipulated in order to perform music; sound effect = device that 
passively 
and non-interactively processes sound according to some set rules.) 

** it seems that the gray area can be intent or manifestation. however, i 
think (imho, etc.) an instrument must be able to make an "original" 
musical (another can of worms, i'm sure) sound, not just the manipulation 
of that sound. that's why i think that some looping devices are more aptly 
termed "compositional tools" - - they only put out what you put into them, 
but can do all sorts of great things with that sound by creating form, 
etc. also, let's face it, by your definition, some people are going to use 
looping devices as "effects" . . .
