I wanted to send my endorsement of LOOPSTOCK in as well: Not only have I learned a hell of a lot by attending the past two LOOPSTOCK's but the feeling of community and the sense of fun has been really wonderful for me. I've learned new techniques; watched people be creative with the same tools that I have but in completely different ways and watched the live looping community really grow aesthetically and in presentation. The difference in everyone's sets from one year to the next has been really inspiring to me. Every year I leave just buzzing with creativity and a feeling that what we are doing as a community really matters. Hell, I just did a gig with the wonderful singer/songwriter/producer Kenny Edwards (Linda Rondstadt, Karla Bonoff, Brindle) the other night and he was using a Line 6 to loop under his solos. He's a typical singer/songwriter.........not a looper, per se, but I know that all the work we've done has helped make it so that live looping is being accepted as a normal thing (as opposed to the 'strange, new' thing that it has been for the past ten years since the popular digital loopers have hit the market). I'll be there with bells and whistles on and I hope everybody who can makes it down to Los Ossos (San Luis Obispo). That's Saturday, May 1st.............plan to stay over for the wonderful Sunday brunch that follows each of these events. I've met some amazing artists and contacts at this brunch. Yours, Rick Walker aka L()()p.p()()L ps and if you are in the Bay Area come check out Jon Wagner's and my set at the Found Object Festival at the San Jose Museum of Art tomorrow (Sunday at 2 p.m. and don't forget to set your clocks forward). We'll be using all kinds of looping tricks with whatever junk and found objects the audience will bring us (which is all we are allowed to make music out of). It's going to be very fun and creative and Loopers Delights' own Matt Davignon will be performing along with a great roster of other artists
