Looper Canoodles is a one-person-band musical project born out of missing and craving live music during Lockdown III.
It became something to focus my attentions on during evenings and weekends to help keep sane.
The aesthetics for the identity reflect several elements of the project; the repetition of melodic loops, the intriguing results of improvisation, 6 strings of the guitar and the black and white colour palette as a nod to the isolation.
The process
1. Each session begins by picking out and learning a suitably nostalgic track that has a dominant loopable melody.
2. The next stage is to attempt to record a decent take to camera within approximately 60 minutes.
3. Then finally upload a cut to IGTV, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook.
Over 50 sessions were recorded
between January and June 2021.
The project became a gentle catalyst
for checking in with friends and family from afar
at an extremely challenging time.
It even got a few thumbs-up from
artists like Adamski and Steve Mason,
which is always nice!
