R: Why NOT Looping has been good for me.

[Massimo Liverani <mas.liv@libero.it>]

HI, Id like to answer your questions and give my little tribute to the 
discussion:

>- 1. First of all, I have played much more often together with other 
>people. 
Compared to making music happen together with real people, looping by 
myself 
was more of an autistic experience - a lot of fun, but mostly self-serving.

It's possibile to loop with other people, and to enjoy very much doing it! 
we 
have done it for years with 2-3-4-5-6... musicians and i'm doing it by 
now. 
I consider it a more interesting way to use live looping, more relaxed and 
more discreet.

>- 2. I actually get to practice my real instruments more thoroughly. 
>Instead 
of i.e. looping overdubs, it can be more challenging to actually try to 
play 
polyphonic etc.

True, I agree with you

>- 3. I actually spend more time with real music. Not with technical 
>looping 
gear details but with simply directly playing music and immersing into 
music.

I think that The important thing is not to have a too immersive tecnical 
approach, but more relaxed end more improv, for me i think that is also 
importat
to use simple gears and simple apporach without t doing diffccoult 
sincronism 
etc etc.

excuse me for mistakes and  my poor english.
