Re: SF Bay Area "Live" Loopers

["Atle Pakusch Gundersen" <atlepg@kabeltv.as>]

Hello Jessy, Pakusch from Norway here.

I have been listening in on this loopers list for a while. Much tech stuff 
here. That is OK and very useful for those concerned. But I have been 
waiting to see if also the more musical aspects will bee present. And 
there 
You are.
I'm living in Norway wich is close to San Francisco only in an 
interplanetary sense, so I cant play a duet with You. But I may have a 
something for You here in words.

...... some thoughts about sync and non-sync. I play in a group called 
WintherStormer http://www.wintherstormer.no/ with two uge analog synth 
station, a very analog percussionist and myself on guitar devices. And we 
have come to be very clear on this: non-sync is more interesting. Let's 
say 
you set up an analog sequenser, wich is like a loop in a sense. Then I 
would 
place a loop on top of that totally non-sync and just let it dance with 
randomness. Often these loops are in category soft background. But we get 
staggering things going with hard rythmic things too. Like a boxing match. 
You never know when or where You get hit next. Jaggering rythms of punchy 
Noise.

I also do solo things. In a similar fasion I would typically set up two or 
three different loops of some length ( 20sec) using my e-bow. Each loop 
would be non equal in length and non sync. Strong melodic lines in 
somewhat 
challenging tonalitys: try Schillingers 3 octave symmetric. The result is 
an 
ever changing tone web with similarities to Fartein Valen, Schoenberg or 
Mahler. Then I do things on top like vocoder guitar or different noise 
stuff 
like seawaves or birdsongs.

Conclusion: Sync is fine, but non sync can be just as interesting.
