Every year, BOSS (makers of music products) holds a contest in search of the best 'loopers' (defined below). To enter, you must submit (via YouTube) a video of you playing alone using a BOSS loopstation. Solo looping isn't my main thing (I prefer playing with musicians OTHER than myself!) but I decided to enter the contest this year (2011) and this (above) is my entry. Looper: noun - a self-absorbed musician who uses a device called a loopstation to record himself as he is playing live, and then plays along with the recording, often building up many layers of sound. |
Live performance of Chameleons and Butterflies, written by Adrian. Adrian uses a Boss RC-50 loop station to loop both vocal and guitar parts in this piece. |
