tuba loopage example/samples

[burnett@pobox.com]

Raw work in progress on an as-yet-unnamed project that I thought I'd 
share: I'm working with a tuba player, live looping and effects 
processing the loops I'm capturing from a mic inside the bell of his 
tuba. This is not finished, we're still exploring the range of sounds we 
can get from a tuba with and without processing.

Ok, gear babble:

In summary, I have one looper device at the top of the signal chain, then 
lots of effects, then three loopers at the end of the signal chain. 
Sometimes capturing at the top then processing and passing it to an 
end-of-chain looper, sometimes tweaking the processing and capturing in an 
end looper.

        (duh :) )

What's not captured in the above samples is his live playing and 
soloing over the looped and processed samples.
