Hi Ken,

Almost ALL of JJ's loops are made up of acoustic sounds. They are usually VERY 
manipulated, sometimes things played backwards, sometimes sped up, sometimes sounds 
of an insect from an LP, but then grabbing the LP while it was dubbing to grind the sound 
to a short, altered speed change. Very imaginative stuff. 

Very occasionally, there's a short electronic sound in his loops, but not that often. He also 
has a huge library of sounds that are his voice (or someone else) making unintelligible 
bleeps and blops, vocally.

I've catalogued his unique sounds for him, and it's way up in the hundreded of very unique 
samples.

By the way, I really hope there's a CD of your own in the works, and that you'll stop 
torturing us with just small snippets of what you're working on.

Cheers,

 - Dana Countryman
