interesting. I was, and am, a heavy motif type player
also. looping came pretty quickly to me and made
sense.

i'm an improvosational musician in most ways and am
very honest about my limitations on my instrument. I
loop what I can to a good affect if possible. I'm also
a good (or at least getting there) instrumentalist, so
when I have nothing good to loop I simply play. works
out pretty well and when I hear something I know I can
wreck people's minds with, I go there.
