Besides the occasional Eno or Fripp nothing loop related here:)

Why do I do it. Because it's just so damn addictive. It's one of the few
musical activities that I can do for hours on end. One thing I like is how
I can make a big sound by my lonesome, spontaneosly<sp>, no need to fire
up my computer, sequencer, sundries( unless I want to). I like how I never
repeat myself, every loop session is unique. I find listening to loop
based music almost instinctive, it hits me deep in my brain, not my hips
or gut. I dunno, I just like it.
