Summary of Violin Loopers Question



Title: Summary of Violin Loopers Question

Figured I would let you know what people sent me in a summary form (good for the archives):

Stuart Wyatt

Jean-Luc Ponty
http://www.ponty.com/
"A pioneer and undisputed master of violin in the arena of jazz and rock. He is widely regarded as an innovator who has applied his unique visionary spin that has expanded the vocabulary of modern music. "

Todd Reynolds

"Co-founder of Ethel, violinist and assistant conductor for Steve Reich and Musicians and The Walter Thompson Orchestra. He was a student of the late Jascha Heifetz, a student at the Eastman School of Music, former Principal Second Violin of the Rochester Philharmonic, and holds a Master's degree from SUNY at Stony Brook."

Ed Allyne Johnson

Martha Mooke - Viola
http://www.marthamooke.com/Listening%20Room.htm
"Electric five string viola. She has developed a unique musical voice by synthesizing her classical music training with extended techniques, digital effects processing and improvisation, while retaining the depth and soul of the instrument. She has received awards from ASCAP, Meet the Composer and Arts International among others."

Bruce Cockburn
Hugh Marsh, the violinist in question is VITAL listening for any electric violinist, looping or no looping. He's fantastic - check out any of Bruce's 80s albums for lots of Hugh's work. (in fact, just check out any of Bruce's albums because they are amazing, forget about instrumentation... :o)
