Can I post again? Please? :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "L.A. Angulo" <labaloops@yahoo.com> > what percentage of loopers go and play 100% improvised > loops or arranged premeditated loops on stage? That's my bag all right....everything I do these days is totally spontaneous. It's like doing drugs, but it's legal. > how do you correct a bad loop on stage,stop > abruptly,bullshit your way while tweaking or shoe/rack > gazing until u get it right? To play off a famous quote of Miles Davis, "Do not be afraid of errors. There are no errors", I never play bad or incorrect loops. On occasion, I might play something that doesn't ring well with me emotionally (neither correct nor incorrect), but I always manage to work with it somehow. It becomes part of me just like all my other personality, physical, and psychological flaws as a human being. Even if I loop something rhythmic and my foot fails me (maybe because I have had one too many cups of coffee or drank too much alcohol), generating a loop that is an 8th note longer rather than what my brain wanted to do initially, that instantly becomes the norm and basis of what I do afterwards. I don't really care if I intend on playing a 4/4 phrase but it ends up being 9/8 or 7/8, or even something like 13/8 or 11/8. In fact, I don't even count anymore. I never know what time signature I am in unless I consciously stop to figure it out. It's a waste of my time. Everything is feel to me now. > for those who do or care how do you keep your audience > interested,do you always loop? I loop. I try to talk, but I never say what I want to say. Music is much easer as language for me in public. I prefer to play non-stop and say thank you at the end of the show. > whats the best looping show you´ve been to? what made > it so great? I really enjoyed watching Jeff Kaiser, Rick Walker, and Ted Killian at the Boise Experimental Music Festival. I liked it when some folks were talking in the crowd, and then Jeff started looping him self whispering "stop talking". Classic, I loved it. And their set was great. Good chemistry, lots of space and diverse sounds, etc, etc. > What makes you feel free while playing music?organized > or improvised? Improvised...as free as a person can get, at least, metaphorically. I tend to subscribe to hard determinism these days...no free will, just chemistry, neurons, cause and effect, and necessity. I think I'm determined to do what I do. Everything is a result of a cause, ad infinitum. That would be an unproveable premise, btw. > i know some of this has been brought up in the past > perhaps but i think we all could use a refreshment! > Luis Thanks for asking!
