music composed in the moment

Music composed in the moment. Casual Loopers is a duo of a multi-instrumentalist and a drummer, building each part live in one take.

Current project

casual loopers

Drums. Loops. No set arrangement.
One take.

Every Casual Loopers piece is composed while it's being played. A riff becomes a four-bar loop, the drums lock in, and the two musicians decide the arrangement in real time, from the first build to the last hit.

How a session works

the riff is ready. the song isn't.

The riff is prepared

A guitar or keys idea is captured as a four-bar loop. It sets the tempo and the feel.

The ingredients are prepared

A few more parts are worked out, roughly a verse and a chorus, as building blocks, not a set order.

The arrangement is not

Changes, builds, breakdowns and the ending happen live, with drums and loops answering each other. The take is the song.
