Re: LIST of FAMOUS LIVE LOOPING ARTISTS



I would add

Robert Rich
Steve Roach
Jeff Greinke
Jeff Pearce
Markus Reuter
Thighpaulsandra (during his days with Coil)

to the list (no idea whether they are subscribed to Loopers´ Delight,
though).

I am also using live looping but I guess I am not what most people would
consider "famous" ;-). But hey, I´m a list member...
