Re: Trouble Thinking of Loops Beyond the Initial Loop

[James Richmond <yahoogroups@jamesrichmond.com>]

Any ideas to help the creative juices flowing from this esteemed group of musucians?

 

Thanks in advance,

I try to think of a harmonic structure I want to work with between each corresponding part.

Then I try to think of building blocks and how to arrange these blocks

My system might work something like this.

A

A+ (where  + is a variation of the main theme)

B

B+

A+ / B (where / represents layering in this case A on top of B)

C/A+/B (introducing a new motif on top of the existing structure)

C/A+/B+

C/B+

C/B

B

Now I run 3 independent looping rigs so it is relatively easy for me to work in this fashion without tripping over myself- I don't know if the RC50 gives you this degree of flexibility.
