(was Looping History? )
So are Fripp and Eno's early recordings of frippertronics not looping?
How about the work of various composers who actually made loops of tape
between machines-I've seen one all the way down the hall ,around a
banister
and back into the studio-when theses were used to make recordings were
they
not looping?How about if there was someone in the studio as audience?
As far as I can tell all looping is sampling,if a sample is played back
in
continuous repetition,I would call that a loop.
I would call that an early form of sampling, not
