Awesome! I like it a lot. Not "the loop" only, but the way you play
over the loop to make it interesting. As sparse as the monotone loop
goes you play very delicate, implying a lot without actually going
there. That's the way to build up strong emotions. Just like watching
a horror movie that scares the shit out of you because the monster
never comes out but every second feels like the beast is gonna break
out of the ground the very next second...
I think what you might mean when you write "not to focus too much on
the technical part of looping" is that you don't want to play the
looper? If you are focused on an instrument it may at first sight
seem "technical" to view a looper as a musical instrument. I mean,
the way you play music (with great ears) you should know that ANY
focusing on ANYTHING except the music at hand would be nothing but
devastating ;-)
