hey,

I guess this was part of my question too, but I never included in the 
text, 
which would make it hard to answer since technically it wasn't asked.  But 
now that you've let the cat out - how do, or did, you infinitely 
experienced 
loopers go about starting your music-making?  personally, pre-aquisition 
stage, I've always jammed with loops in mind, or tried to auralise just 
what 
whatever it is I'm playing would sound like being repeated.  
Unfortunately, 
my mind doesn't work too well with overdub, and that's why I require all 
these 
pseudo cybernetic extensions of what I feel are intrinsic human looping 
capabilities.

at the moment, my approach largely does consist of the mess with stuff! 
approach as advocated by mike, but I would like to start incorporating a 
little 
more structure in with the mayhem.  Is looping, in all practicalities, 
largely 
depepndent on emergent phenomenon  arising from the mess with stuff! 
approach?  What other possibilities lie in the loop?
