Hi, a friend alerted me to this thread and I had no knowledge of slahdot to, HI! I'm a newbie.
I am an electronic producer and live looping artist in northern california where I use the moniker, Rick Walker's Loop.pooL.
I work in the 'Abstract' genre which is some
cross between trip hop, techno and breakbeat where the rhythmic grooves are usually electronically created (as opposed to samples taken from 70's soul records like much of
hip hop.
This is a mock up of my webpage which features my first CD, Loop.pooL. Fans of other abstract artists such as Autechre, Aphex Twin, Mouse On Mars and Boards of Canada have liked this CD which has gotten really good reviews (much to my relief and amazement....LOL).
I am my own record company, distributor, lawyer and manufacturing plant (re: I burn 'em one at a time) so this is no huge commercial advert.
My friend, Mike Crawford just thought that you all might be interested in what I do.
Here's the ridiculously long angelfire url:

live looping artists in history:
