The Loop Yoga Project
Loop Yoga is a recording project that I began in 1998 to facilitate my yoga & meditation practice. Loop Yoga utilizes "sampled music" in the creation of repetitious sound currents with the intention of deeply connecting to the divinity encased within a sound structure.

The Casio SK-1
The Casio SK-1 : One small leap for smudge-kind
A vast, large, extensive and really big number of vastlesssmudge
recordings were made possible with the advent of the Casio SK-1
Sampling Keyboard.
Amen.
The Casio SK-1 hit the home consumer keyboard toy market in 1985.
vastlessmudge saved up their pretty pennies and in 1986 the band purchased
one of these beauties and the rest is now history.
The SK1 is still used today by Fatboy Slim, Beck, Autechre, Portishead and
Blur (amongst other lo-fi enthusiasts) for its lo-fi, crusty sound quality.
You can hear the Casio SK-1 hard at work on the right channel of this early 2 track
recording You Couie (1986). The left channel is a record at the end, endlessly
playing.
"You Couie" (1986) Vastlesssmudge
Available on The Vastlesssmudge Compilation
Vastlesssmudge: From Chariots To Garbage Cans 1983-1990
Volume One
"You Couie" was recorded with two microphones, one cassette tape recorder,
one record player, one 78 record and a Casio SK-1 sampler.

vastlesssmudge
The band vastlesssmudge was not a band. It is still not a band.
This site is the official website of the band vastlesssmudge.
The founding member of vastlesssmudge was the same person who is
vastlesssmudge. vastlesssmudge is not a person. vastlesssmudge lasted 12 years
and recorded an unknown amount of material.
This official vastlesssmudge blog will attempt to unravel the mystery and the
history of the vastlesssmudge archives which is a shoebox and several more boxes
and a few plastic bags.
The very first vastlesssmudge song ever was called Sculptural Depression.
Sculptural Depression was recorded in the fall of 1983 with two cassette decks,
one Radio Shack mixer, drumming on china teacups and a garbage can, a plastic
recorder (flute) and the barking stylings of Kali the puppy. Kali was a mix
between a Labador Retreiver and a Newfoundland. She lived 10 years (1983-1993).
The song is one minute and 18 seconds long.
