Post subject:  Looping music?

Well, I would like to expand my knowledge about looping musicians... Do you know guys some musicians (on various instruments, not only Stick) playing with tons of loopers? I particulary love when the musician employs what I'm calling a kind of "dynamic technique of looping" (with some layers fading and replaced by some other layers) rather than the musicians that create static loops and jam over them all way long (unless that this technique is well done, like Glenn Poorman or Guillermo Cides).
Do you have some names/links to share?

Here is a classic noise loop from the early days--you can download it for free and be sure to read how the physical loop itself is suspended from helium baloons....

It'll hurt a bit.

This has been posted here before, but definitely one of the best live looping examples...

Steve Lawson is a master at looping bass.

Imogen Heap is one of the most entertaining and exciting loopers I've heard. I'm surprised Bobby McFerrin hasn't really jumped on looping.

For a multi-instrumentalist I would look at Keller Williams:

A simpler approach, the little Aussie tree hugger:

Phil Keaggy is an amazing guitarist and also a creative looper: http://philkeaggy.com/bio/

Per Boysen from Sweden is at the forefront of using computer based looping: http://www.perboysen.com/

I agree with Bryan, Steve Lawson is also great in the context of a single instrument looper. I always recommend Zoe Keating for a very orchestral layering of her cello: http://www.zoekeating.com/

For something completely different, I also like Juana Molina: http://www.juanamolina.com/. She uses very basic equipment, but with a "randomized" approach.

Cheers,
Andy

Bobby Mc Ferrin is so captivating by itself that he doesn't really need this kind of tools IMHO.

Pierre Bensusan went through a looping period too, but I think he realised the same thing and went back to just playing.
