The painter, Philip Guston (1913-1980) said in the 70's, that all an artist has is freedom (paraphrase-he said it much more eloquently of course). he also said, in talking about method, etc: (also paraphrase) that there is a lot of preparation for a few moments of innocence. s--- >>Hhhmmm, this is a very interesting thread. >> >>For me, to define looping an what I do, it can be summed up in one >>single word: >> >><<<FREEDOM>>> > >ok, thats pretty much what I say when people ask me what music I play. >If I say that I play the guitar, they imagine some rock stuff. >If I say that I use loops, they mosty cannot imagine anything. >So I say that I create a vibe of freedom and peace. >Then again, Bob Dylan said that, too, so it does not really define >anything, but faces clear up anyway! ;-) >Probably because the concept of freedom changed its flavour... > >If you really think about it: freedom is not be tied up with a >ongoing loop ;-) > >>Before I discovered looping & delays, I had so much inspirational >>music floating around inside my head, but when I used standard >>tools to try and get those ideas recorded (i.e. reel-to-reel, >>cubase, pen & paper etc), the process was not fast enough for me to >>retain the ideas that I had. It was frustrating. > >right! this may be some "essence" of looping: the bridge between the >creation and recording process... but how do we bring that across... > >>When I purchased the DL4, it opened up a whole new way of >>working.... and to a certain degree (limited only by the hardware) >>allowed me to transfer the inspiration inside my head into music >>that other people could hear. > >Its like trading the time limitation of multi-instrument-composing >against a structural limitation (which you call "only by hardware" >but it will always be there, the more complex the tool becomes, the >more its operation will be the limitation) > >>So... in my case, freedom just about sums it up :) > >Ok, but how about "us"? are you saying that we play "Freedom-Music" ? ;-) >-- > > > ---> http://Matthias.Grob.org --
