Re: New loopage - for me anyway.

["Peter Shindler" <shindler@mediaone.net>]

I saw Freudmann perform a few years ago at the University of Connecticut as
part of their Cello Society's annual concert.  He performed solo and stole
the show.  He played a couple of silly songs, which he sang while plucking
his cello like an upright bass, and did a number of his own instrumental
pieces.  The only looping he did was one piece where he set up a 
polka-esque
bass line, looped it through a small DigiTech floor unit of some kind, then
went nuts over it.  Very musical all the way through.  I don't know what
he's been up to lately, but I believe he's got a site out there somewhere.
