The website that has been graciously donated and maintained by Bernhard Wagner (the mastermind behind the wonderful Zurich Live Looping Festival this past month).

Bernhard, I have to say, is having a banner month. He is a headliner for this years' Y2K5 Festival; he just produced the best live looping festival I've ever seen and he has a beautiful new debut live looping solo CD out. I will write a full review of this wonderful record as soon as I am able to breathe after Y2K5, but it's a goody. Suffice it to say that you should buy one from him while he is in America (and the shipping charges are low.............lol)
