RE: Loops curative/restful powers
I've done a lot of live looping with dancers, and my experience is that
they don't really *listen* to the music, it just happens while they do
their thing. Really. Maybe they're responding to it on some
subconscious level. I've gotten the impression that asking a modern
dancer to synchronize to music is received with the same enthusiasm
you'd encounter when asking a poet to write something that rhymes.
This is not intended as a slight on dancers. Or poets.
I also did a live soundtrack to a silent movie (Aelita: Queen Of Mars)
that featured a lot of looping, in a trio context. It was a tremendous
amount of work.
