Re: essential loop recordings

Hi Andre.

I don’t really care for your work either so the
feeling is mutual. Feel free to not add me to your
history section. But I was there.

Fripp once took me aside and told me that I could play
things Adrian Belew couldn’t play in his wildest
dreams. I respect his opinion a bit more than yours.

Here are about 500 e-mails from people who disagree
with you and loved my work.

Granted my early CDs from 1985 did not sell that well
(only about 5000 copies each), so they did not have a
big impact on millions of people. I can see where that
would rule me out.

At the time I recorded these I had not heard anyone
else use an e-bow for looping. Fripp didn’t use one at
the time. 

I hadn’t heard anyone else doing polyrhytmic acoustic
guitar looping. 

The techniques I used are completely irrelevant. Its
the resulting music that matters. Was the music
innovative for the time? I think it was. You have the
right to disagree.

Here are a couple of press reviews form 1985 for my
“Daemon” lp.

Press reviews:
OPTION MAGAZINE - "Daemon" is an amazing electric
guitar tour-de-force, superbly composed, recorded, and
performed. 
SOUND CHOICE - "Daemon" is a one man band release that
is the finest indy cd that I've had the pleasure to
review. A remarkably well performed and composed
collection that showcase an original artist and his
mastery of the technology."
