Awesome! I like it a lot. Not "the loop" only, but the way you play  
over the loop to make it interesting. As sparse as the monotone loop  
goes you play very delicate, implying a lot without actually going  
there. That's the way to build up strong emotions. Just like watching  
a horror movie that scares the shit out of you because the monster  
never comes out but every second feels like the beast is gonna break  
out of the ground the very next second...

I think what you might mean when you write "not to focus too much on  
the technical part of looping" is that you don't want to play the  
looper? If you are focused on an instrument it may at first sight  
seem "technical" to view a looper as a musical instrument. I mean,  
the way you play music (with great ears) you should know that ANY  
focusing on ANYTHING except the music at hand would be nothing but  
devastating ;-)
