Re: OREGON LOOPERS - Next Steps / Misc.

Well all-righty then! Sounds like we have a party. Answering some  
points I remember from the last several posts:

 > Should take off list at some point.
 > Loopers from outside Oregon

I'll make a "North West Loopers" yahoo group or gmail group or  
facebook or some such some time this week. Just email me off line if  
you have a preference. Can be used for gig spam too so we can see what  
we're all doing.

 > What are we waiting for?

For myself, I'm waiting to get my skills back. I think I was first on  
this list in '96 too, actually, under soundcolor@yahoo.com . But like  
I said, I took a break and am putting the finishing touches a whole  
new way of working that, once I get to it, will be ultra cool. I can  
feel this beast will finally be tamed here pretty soon but then once  
the workflow really works I have to get my actual looping chops back.  
So, 2nd quarter of 2010 is my goal.

However, I'd love to do a short, non complicated thing with just an  
iphone and my EDP before I sell it. I could do that on short notice.  
It would be surprisingly not bad musically and hilarious as a concept  
piece.

 > Day of week for show

For a first run, perhaps a Thursday? Close enough to the weekend to  
matter but not on the weekend so as not to be blown out of the water  
by other going's on.

I'd be interested to know what he's up to. I have live video as part  
of my deal too, ultimately... I either need a 2nd laptop or a new  
supped up Macbook pro to bring both out at once in a live setting.

Oh, wait, that's not a quote. Okay, well then I'm saying it! I live in  
the Alberta Arts district of Portland. 21st and Alberta. 503.327.9329  
and I'll see email sent to soundcolor@yahoo.com much faster---I miss  
things on this list email. Ping me sometime if you like and we'll kick  
it loop style. We'll kick it loop style. We'll kick it loop style.  
We'll kick it loop... We'll kick it...  We'll kick...   (woops...  
feedback pedal was up again.)
