Gibby W7: Inspiration

This video may not be new, but I think it's a nice point of reference for a slower groove and good example of clear looping. Of course, it's easy to tell what all loops are happening because this is a solo performance, which has made me think about the concept of walking away from your setup. If the idea is to show how time is cyclical and how everything will always happen and keep happening, it might be cool to show off your loops by simply walking away from the set-up and letting it run.


I was searching for process based music to get some inspiration after your performance and I think this piece is really intriguing. I think when we think about an additive process, especially in the genre you've chosen, it's additive in terms of instrumentation e.g. looping the bass, then the drums come in, then the piano comes in, etc. While it doesn't necessarily fit into your aesthetic, I think this piece is interesting because it begins with its "groove" already fully formed and follows the process of changing the melodic fragment and shifting the harmony. This piece also shows the importance of repetition in process music.
