Y2k International Live Looping

Originally, The festival drew from the community that congregated on the daily mailing digest of Kim Flint s website, www.loopersdelight.com . In 2003, Walker sent a single e-mail to Loopers Delight s mailing list, saying that he was coming to Europe to perform as a solo live looping artist and asking if anyone would consider hosting him while putting together a small looping festival where they lived. So many artists responded that within two weeks, he had a fully booked two month looping tour in 7 countries in the UK and Northern Europe. Since that time, Rick has traveled to 15 different countries in Asia, Europe, the UK, Canada, Mexico and the US to try and promote the concept of live looping festivals. A dedicated group of looping artists who had come and headlined the US festival spread the concept to their representative countries by creating their own looping festivals.
