Looper's Delight

| I almost always loop with others. Although to be fair often I am just controlling the loops and not playing my viola at the same time. You can hear some of my duet work with vocalist Viviane Houle at these two sites. As for tools - I use Kenaxis which is the software I've developed. One of the main new features I added to version 3 was the ability to choose from any of up to 8 inputs that I can have going into Kenaxis. This allows me to decided to loop and manipulate any player I want in a group once I setup enough looping mics. It is hard not to get into a mush when you have more than 3 or 4 players. Done a couple of large ensemble gigs with 12+ players and just had to find ways of manipulating the loops into frequency ranges that most normal instruments can't get to. As for evolving loops - there is so much that can be done with a loop which is why I am more than happy just capturing and manipulating the loops while another player creates fresh material. It is great fun to see a players reaction who usually does not play with loops once their material starts coming back at them. Stefan ---------------------------------------------------- |
