It made me think of how live looping has urged me, personally, to keep
finding new and unusual sound sources that sound great when repeated
and mangled.
For me this has been finding sounds (that frequently are not considered to
be musical instruments that , nonetheless, have really intriguing musical possibilities),
inventing new and alternate techniques for existing instruments (like all
the guitarists on this list who use their electric and acoustic guitars as drum machines)
and even inventing new instruments.
I thought it would be an intriguing thread to talk about these three sources for
live looping and the augmentation of traditional looped instruments with alternate
sound sources.
What are some cool:
1) Found Sounds
2) Invented Sounds
3) Alternate Techniques to change the sound of Existing Instruments
