thats how it was in Bern. sometimes impressively loud, but not for long 
time...
for me, Zoes part could have been softer when solo and louder when with 
Imi.

I was impressed how complex sounds and changes they dominated. A lot 
of MIDI and sync going on, controllers all over. 4 Repeaters...
And still simplicity and that wonderfull Mbira get their moments and 
add wonderfull dynamics...
I was most moved by the looped voices.

I loved the demonstration of the whole setup by Imogen. Fun and 
deducational and adding value to the presentation from then on.

I had imagined looping as an impro tool, but those two professionals 
show that its very seriously supports complex compositions. And it 
still feels very different from calling ready samples!

And the room was packed, there is a public for this music, as oposed 
to most experimental looping we are hearing...

I had a great evening!
Matthias
