This made me think about what the actual point in "Live-looping" is. As far as I see things, live-looping is something that happens live. You go to a live-looping show to se humans create music. You may not dig it because it sounds a certain way, you dig in because you see the guys building up the musical pieces step for step, loop for loop, and that makes you feel very unique, as you know by watching this happen that it will NEVER happen again in exactly the same way. Shit, you guys all think about live-looping "the old way" like some A&R checking out new talents for eventual further refining in the music business machinery. That's not the point as I see it. To me live-looping (as a social and commercial phenomenon) has more in common with shows like "a circus" or "a wrestling cup" than with "MTV and top 40". It's damn unique and it will never happen again if you don't go and check it out. Today this entertainment quality has become quite rare and I think modern people actually want it badly. You should have seen those CNN guys filming us here in Sweden! Matthias started out a beautiful guitar piece putting down layers of polyphonic distortion lines that sounded just like a classical string orchestra. Jaws dropped and people were just staring at the guy. A room full of TV professionals, dance music producers and label folks, all deeply moved by this thing called "live-looping" happening right before their eyes. The didn't listen to some "latest release to be filed under some specified sub genre". They were all having a unique experience right there!
