Re: keeping loops interesting

Yeah, Stefan! Now it gets interesting.....

I like letting go of harmony.

To rephrase Glenn Gould's Dictum:

"All great loop music must be contrapuntal."

Harmony is a byproduct of counterpoint....


What I think is, the way to keep loops interesting....is the same way 
as keeping music interesting:

The four elements for me:

1) Dynamics

2) Pitch

3) Velocity

4) Texture

Doesn't matter if it is a loop or an unaccompanied solo....keep the 
above mixed up and interesting and all your bases are covered.....
