Re: What public is attracted by a Y2K Sampler Video?

I think the Y2K festival is a good thing.  But I have yet to see any 
decent looping 
compositions that are under 8 minutes (I am sure there are some, but I'm 
talking averages 
here).  It usually takes time to build the parts and get it going.  
There's lots of great looping 
on youtube, but the limit on youtube video is 10 minutes.  So how do you 
take a festival of 
loopers and condense it down to 10 minutes.  That's the real challenge....
