Thank you so much, Per, Ted, Krispen, Michael, Gary, Luis, Matthas, Michael, Brian! I really appreciate having your feedback! Didn't expect that much! The last day in the US I checked in at a cheapo hotel that doesn't have internet, so I couldn't react earlier to your posts. Krispen: After having used the looper for some time it was exactly the metaphor that I liked using to describe the process: painting. The other issues you raise are of great importance to me, personally: "using the instrument as a tool of emotive expression", "creating music as art vs. craft", while I often find myself on the "craft" side when testing things out (rig setup as much as instrument training as much as music theory (testing out and practicing less obvious scales and rhythms)), that hopefully will sneak their way into my subconscious to eventually pop up and blend seamlessly with the "repertoire" during performance... The technical aspects: I'm using one EDP and do the stereozation after the loop using the G2. This is also what I do live. Thanks again for your interest! Ted: Thank you very much for the truly encouraging words and the promotion! Interestingly, I don't know any of the music you mention, and I will take that as an incentive to check it out as soon as possible. I am very pleased you took the time to download even more files. If you liked the tracks with Per you might like the MBBW tracks, too, with Michael Bearpark. I am such a lucky guy to have had the opportunity to make music with Per and Michael! And Andy and Matthias and Rick and Sunao and Scoots and ... It is always of particular pleasure to me to play with other musicians. Sometimes it happens so, that the other musicians aren't even playing or not even present in the same room, yet their presence influences the playing deeply. Gary: yes, all live! I removed a few lengthy sections, though, and it's definitely too rough still! BTW: I always thought that complaining about mp3 was just techie mumbo-jumbo, but ever since I'm recording these kind of things (and listen to other list members' CDs) I definitely can tell a difference. I believe mp3 was conceived for particular ranges of frequencies which these sounds sometimes exceed substantially. Yet another incentive to chisel a CD out... Luis: How was it made: hmmm... Well basically I looped the bassline and then overdubbed the volume swells for harmonies and then simply soloed over it. Matthias: you're right, I definitely should improve on my selection and editing process! Michael: Wow! Peter Gabriel! His music was very important for me during some time. But most important (I think) were The Police. And Bill Frisell. Or so... Brian: That's right, G2 comes after the loop. That's the main reason I'm using it to turn the mono sound into a stereo one. And what is a 311 song? Thank you all for taking the time to download, listen, and comment! This is very valuable to me.

I downloaded a couple of other MP3s from your "Echoplex Loops" page while I was at it (I hope you don't mind). In particular I noticed and grabbed: Mathon2004072236.mp3 PBBW_CD1_Track3.mp3 PBBW_CD1_Track4.mp3 Since we only got a half hour of you at Y2K3 I wanted to hear you play just a little more in some other contexts. Your playing reminds me of some of the classic German electronic music from the '70s (Ashra Blackouts, etc.) mixed with some Michael Brooks and something uniquely your own. Very smooth and trancelike. It's also nice to hear Andy Butler on the Mathon tracks and Per Boysen on the PBBW tunes. I'm a big fan of Per. Anywho, any of you folks out there that haven't checked Bernhard's music out yet you're really missing out on something cool.
