About [ looptron ]

Looptron is a collaborative project between North London-based guitarist Neil Sharkey and his laptop. Being a bit geeky, Looptron draws inspiration from the rise in recent years of solely computer-based recording and performance artists and a dissatisfaction with the state of songwriting in that same medium. Bleepy noises and scraped together beats are all well and good but if you can't sing along with the chorus, really, what's the point? Eh?

He's recently completed his debut EP Obsolete Before You Start. More details on that, and free MP3 downloads can be found at the "Hello, my name is Looptron" blog. (There's also an xml feed for you newsreader types.)

Clatter	Apr 19 2008 2:52 AM So I was sitting down to my computer tonight to try and get some work done, and decided to turn on some tunes. I have a bunch of unnamed tracks in my library for some reason, so I was clicking through them and came across one I thought was totally cool, so I listened, wondering what it was. It suddenly hit me just before I heard, "Hello, my name is looptron!" Awesome stuff -- brothers shouldn't be allowed to have that much talent between them! Quit hogging it all! >;-D Hope to play a show together again soon! Amy / Clatter

tom mchugh	Jan 8 2008 9:32 AM Lovely sounds chap. Beers, followed by an appropriate measure of company with my old mate Jack, and that'd be just the ticket for a good drone about how the Dickins you layer. Then we continue to work on how to save the world ?
