distortionist



...and sometimes i use reverb. am i a reverbist? or reverber? i can't for the life
of me figure it out. i know i must be a distortioner, but that all depends on the setting.
if the gain is higher than the level, then i'm a distortionist.

oh, i use a looper too, but anything over 3.3 seconds equals a quantum leap into the
realm of the loopist, which is generally regulated by the central scrutinizer, but only
in the white zone.

i think "livelooping" is too relevant. i mean, what does rock and roll have to do with
the music? or young country? well...forget i axed.

i say play the music and let the audience decide what colors they want to be clad in
when they say whatever name they've given the new, wild and exciting music
they've discovered. audiences have a tremendous amount of pride input into what
they have discovered. the artists are their servants. i watched a kid almost bloody
the nose of another who didn't agree that the Edge was the best guitarist ever.

i suppose the artists' peers (likely other artists) will be part
of the decision-making audience, thus will steer the apellations in the right direction,
but who named bebop bebop? the poets, right? does anyone play yabyum
anylonger?
miles probably breathed "cool" after a gig and someone in the press heard him say it.

just some ideas.
adieu.
