I sit because I find it exceedingly difficult to stand, hit my EDP record button, and work the volume or expresson pedals at the same time, or even in seemless juxtraposition. I tried once and almost lost my balance and fell on my ass. I also sit because 1) I'm lazy, 2) I have a bad back that aches when standing for long periods of time, and 3) I like to be able to tweak effects in my rack which is easy to do sitting down with the way my racks are set up on crates. Sitting down, I also find that my accuracy at hitting the EDP record button is better, because the weight is off my legs and allows for more control. Now, if I could figure out a way to play laying down in a half-dream state, that would be ideal. :) ************************************************************************ ************** Krispen Hartung http://www.krispenhartung.com info@krispenhartung.com View improvisational / real-time looping videos: http://www.myweb.cableone.net/chagstrom2/music/kris-hartung/catalogue.ht m#videos Interactive tour of my gear: http://www.boisemusicians.com/gear.htm -----Original Message----- From: Gary Lehmann [mailto:hqr@cox.net] Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2005 6:49 PM To: 'Looper's Delight' Subject: Sit or Stand?
