RE: RE: memory and improvisation

Yes,

some free improv guys are actually annoyed when you toss in a loop at 
them, 
especially if it has some (yak) rhythmic content.... But admittedly the 
most basic and easy to operate loopers work best in that kind of a 
situation, especially those old pitch shifted loops. BTW, has anybody 
tried 
to loop on this newly released HIWATT tape echo? It's supposed to do 
2000ms, does it pitch shift? Reminds me of my old Korg stage echo.... Also 
in free improv you should be able to instantly repeat anything you were 
just playing.

Thanks for the input on 20th century composers, I'd like to add anything 
by 
Sofia Gubaidulina, especially the orchestra stuff.
