In college (early '80's), the name of my band was "The
Spontaneous Abstraction"; the closest we came to
looping was to mix prepared tape loops (endless-loop
cassettes loaded up with sound effects) into
improvisations, but there was *a lot* of
improvisation... (I did the two open-reels thing, but
not at gigs...)
