RE: How far does looping go back? Farther than you think....

["Goddard, Duncan" <goddard.duncan@mtvne.com>]

I reckon campanology counts as looping, although it's also a form of
sequencing..... "ringing the changes"..... how many years does it take
to go through all the possible permutations of ringing 12 bells? can it
be done with less than three people? & so on.....

on another note, did edison (or more likely, emil berliner) ever
encounter a locked groove during their early sound-recording
experiments?
did it ever happen with the disc recorders that prevailed before WW2?
did anyone (a young les paul, perhaps?) lark about with it for musical
effect?
