Well it's hardly worth mentioning, but for the sake of posterity:
Mine is likely the simplest recording in this collection, and I feel a
little silly even having it included. This was my very first day of
successful live-looping. I ran my Takamine acoustic guitar and old
BOSS drum machine (played with my fingers, not sequenced) through an
Alesis Studio24 mixer directly into the line-in on my laptop's internal
sound card and looped using basic overdub on one track in Mobius.
That's about as simple as it gets!

Re: EXPLAIN your 10th Anniversary Birthday 30 second tune
I'm very partial to acapella vocal looping stuff, I love what
I hear from Rick (I wanna hear more from that show, Rick!) and Rainer
in the collection. I'm familiar with what Bjork and Imogen Heap have
done in this direction, if anyone has recommendations (your own music
included) I'd love to hear them.
It'd be nice to have the explanations together on a page. Krispen,
could we host a page on your site, or on Box.net? Or LD, Kim?
About my own submission: I'm lucky in that 30 seconds is the normal
length of the loops I make, since they're 30-second cassettes. I did
four tracks of improv nylon-string direct through a Studio Projects
tube mic pre, into a Yamaha four-track. Two tracks are clean, two are
fuzz (Effector13 TBD). I did a lot of pitch-shifting with the speed
control, which shoots the tracks up an octave with a bit of a "whoosh"
which I'm partial to. Overall, the low fidelity stands out compared to
a lot of the other tracks, but that's part of what I like about the
medium.
Two weeks left! C'mon, more submissions! We should aim for 100 loops.

I just went to Krispen's site for the 10th Anniversary 30
second looping project
and was really blown away at all the really interesting and cutting
edge music
I hear there.
I thought it would be very educational for everyone to explain how they
put their
particular piece together.
