Re: Unorthodox loopgig venues ( WAS: Loops curative/restful powers )

Oh, I wasn't GETTING the massages, just providing the
soundtrack.

Talked (& liveloop-demoed) with a metalsmith this
morning about doing the same sort of thing for a
jewelry-making workshop. I improvised two pieces for
her, one a sustainy-volume swell thing with
cello-bowed guitar, the other a sort of Steve
Reich-ish-sounding loop. She thought either of them
would sound great in her studio during the hands-on,
non-lecture parts of a workshop.

I guess while we as loopers don't always slot into the
normal bar gig scene too well, we ARE able to find
venues and contexts that yer average rock band
wouldn't. 

Does anyone have any anecdotes to share about
unusual/exotic/interesting gigs they've gotten as a
result of NOT appealing to the mainstream?
