Message-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" In case y'all didn't notice, Looper's Delight has been dead the past week. My internet service provider was having some sort of "problem" that required numerous phone calls and emails to correct. It seems to be fixed now, with no explanations or contact at all from the powers that be..... It's actually sort of funny. I received personal mail from the president of my ISP, telling me that our little list was responsible for causing his servers to have a total meltdown. He shut us off himself! He said we constituted "abuse of their servers." As if! Then, a few hours later, I get another email from him saying that it wasn't our fault after all, we just happened to be sending mail when the Big Crash occurred. Seems he and his sysadminions neglected to turn us back on and I got to call his customer support people every day and listen to horrible fuzak "on hold" music. ah well...... Sorry for any inconvenience, and Welcome Back! kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 May 1997 17:58:46 -0700 From: mgsam@wave.net To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com Subject: Re: It's Alive!!!!

It's improved my playing immeasurably - when you're playing, you're usually too concerned with what the next note is to worry about how sloppy the last one was. michael PS Glad to have you back - I was worried I'd accidentally unsubbed last week (I posted around the time of the crash)!

The following statement(back cover) seemed more "loop" oriented than I could avoid relating to this group. " Even more than literature and the visual arts, music can never be arrested by any system of analysis or interpretation, either formal or historical. It is natural to look outside or beyond the music, to find the ways in which it can temporarily and provisionally assume different kinds of signifigance. Nevertheless, music will not acknowledge a context greater than itself- social, cutural or biographical- to which it is convieniently subservient." Also wanted to mention for those who might be interested and not know already that Robert Fripp will be touring with the G3 tour this summer from the 17th of June thru the end of August across the U.S. contributing "soundscapes" to the program. Check your local listings for times and locals (In Colorado the word is it will be at Red Rocks...date to be announced). Loop On.... Bryan Helm ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 May 97 03:44:53 UT From: "Pete Gilbert" To: "Loopers Delight" Subject: Michigan Stick Trio CD Message-Id: resending this...... ---------- Sent: Thursday, May 15, 1997 08:55 To: 'Loopers Delight' Subject: Michigan Stick Trio CD The Michigan Stick Trio is proud to announce the availability of their first CD, General Chaos and Natural Order. The disc contains 13 tracks, five of which use looping. Two tracks (While Not Done and Seascape) are solo loops. Spring Thaw, Chunk Û Funk and Ripples use loops in combination with non-looped instrumentation. Technology Triumphs has a looped drone (which I am not really counting as a loop). The web page (http://edict.com/mst/) is not in place yet, but should be "real soon now" (it contains a link back to the Looper's Delight page when we talk about looping). You can order by phone from Oz's Music in Ann Arbor, MI (http://ic.net/~ozmusic) by calling this number 313 662 8283, as of Friday. If you are in the area, you can stop by either of the Oz's music stores. We may have another more generally available distribution channel available "real soon now". Or, you can email me, and we'll work something out. thanks for reading this far Pete Gilbert ------------------------------ Date: 23 May 1997 12:54:25 -0700 From: "Hartnett, Travis" To: "Loopers Delight postings" Subject: FS: Lexicon Super Prime Time $550 Message-ID: >From Harmony Central: FS: Lexicon Super Prime Time digital delay $550 Asking Price: US$550 Condition: Good Age: 10 years Description: $550 Lexicon Super Prime Time digital delay It is in great condition, only used in my home studio.
