Article in the Boise Weekly

OK, Kris.  Just this once, we'll pitch in and help promote your new album. 
Seriously, the Boise Weekly article was well written and quite accurate 
too. 
He refers to you as a "looping master", right on.  It wasn't hard to whip 
up 
the following comment, which I posted today. - CW

Dear Ryan:  I enjoyed your Dec 17 article, In the Loop.  Sorry it took so 
long to comment, the last month has been hectic.  As it happens, I'm a big 
fan of this kind of music.  Your analysis is right on the mark, esp. 
concerning the equipment and methods live loopers use to create these 
unique 
sounds.  These are new techniques that were not nearly as widespread even 
10 
years ago.



Looping is being applied to a variety of musical styles.  You mentioned 
Chemical Bros and Boards of Canada, both of whom are deep into looping 
techniques.  In fact, most techno musicians use looping to create their 
characteristic repetitive sound.  Other practitioners are into 
experimental 
jazz, ambient and so called industrial music.  The some loopers use 
melodic 
instruments like guitar and keyboard, others rely more heavily on samples 
and synthesizers.  My own favs include The Crystal Method and Boise 
"looping 
master" Kris Hartung.  I've been meaning to order Kris' new album, 
Xperimentus.  I also hope to catch his live act at one of the looping 
festivals held around the globe every year.  - Charles Winters, Seattle
