Analog Loops

[patrick@his.com (Patrick Smith)]

Hi,

I joined last week and have been swamped as usual. This topic arose I
believe when I raised a question about an Oberhiem Matrix-6R.

I'm in an ambient music project called Fingerpaint. We are Washington DC
locals, myself and Steev Geest. We use four Jam Men(2 each,) and a wealth
of effects. Steev uses a Roland GR 300 and GR 700, plus an occasional SH
101 analog keyboard synth for his sound sources. I use a Roland Gr-1 and
Yahmah TX 81-z, plus a Korg Poly Six for mine. Recently I've added a Roland
GR-50 and now the Matrix-6.

So as you can see we have a good analog base to our loops, but also digital
and FM synths. We've also used acoustic guitar and a vase filled with
marbles and water. Whatever the music requires is what drives us.

We have recently released a cassette Enormous Swirling Sound, which I can
make available to any one interested in what we are doing for $5 postpaid.
The cassette contains eight pieces and is 40 minutes in duration. E-mail if
interested and send a check payable to me at:

Our Web site will be up soon and will contain our thoughts on looping. When
we have these written up, I'll forward them to the list.

I look forward to being on this list.

Peace,

Patrick
