RE: Looper census - pre-recorded loops

["terry o'brien" <anomalousdisturbances@hotmail.com>]

Paul, I do ....I play live improvisations (like most loopers seem to do) 
for 
the most part but for some pieces will use a pre-recorded 'bed' loop 
(drones, beatz, vox samples, sonic ephemera) to build upon or as a segue 
between live pieces.  I play them off my ibook.  My music is ambient 
soundscaping so this all works well for me in cooking up a tasty recipe 
with 
the occassional disaster errupting from time to time - but I'm quite 
partial 
to happy accidents. I inhabit a performance regime that stradles DJ-ing 
and 
live in-the-moment composition....well that's the plan - or lack thereof.  
The outcome is never the same twice and I like the indeterminacy of the 
process.

I just acquired a copy of MAX so I'm trying to get my head into it and 
plan 
to utilize it at some point in the future.
