I was just checking through the Kennedy centre archives and came across a chap called Tony Martucci using looping technology in a one-man percussive performance. 55 minutes in total but only two looped tracks, viz the second track, approx 8 minutes into the performance, and again at about 34 mins or something of that order which is as far as I got before realaudio decided to be come all picture and no sound. It sounds like he's using a DL-4 or other basic looping function to create a foundation loop, overdubbing more material and then grooving over the top. Interesting & relevant stuff for me as a solo percussionist preparing for a gig (my inaugural looping gig) with Rick Walker in Belfast as part of his euroloop tour, June 13 Linenhall Library, Belfast if I may get away with a plug. :) http://play.rbn.com/?url=kennedy/kennedyg2/g2demand/01212003_1800_MSN.rm&pro to=rtsp You may need to cut & paste the link above to get it to work.
