Re: COLLATED FAMOUS LIVE LOOPING ARTISTS: amended again

My bad, Mark,

I didn't know that bit of history and would never take anything away from 
anyone who innovates, conciously.

I love Brian Eno,  He's been an enormous influence on my own life and work.

I constantly repeat the Red Crayon/White Paper Creativity anecdote that is 
told about him.

So , thanks for correcting me............I'll add him to the famous list , 
poste haste.

yours,  respectfully,   Rick

    Someone also mentioned Brian Eno, but really, I have never been aware 
that he was using live looping
    with the excpetion of his work with Robert Fripp early on.   Am I 
mistaken because he'd definitely qualify
    as a famous looper if he is , indeed using live looping methods in his 
composition.


  DEEERRR Rick!!! Oh come on... Its Rober Fripp who nicked the idea off 
Brian Eno remember???  Brian Eno  printed the diagram of the double Revox 
system in his Discreet nusic Album  THAT USED THIS SYSTEM  therfore yes 
Brian Eno HAS used Live looping... not sure if it qualfys him as a live 
looper tho, Im sure most producers have used really long delays at some 
time, but Discreet Music as an Album is most definately Live Looping.  And 
thankfully no sign of Fripp anywhere!!!

  Twas my first introduction to looping, and I have one photo of me using 
that system in about 1982 with long hair and a tie dyed Tshirt... Yikes!
