I started working with loops on "Absence" and found it to be a very good way to work in certain settings. "Absence" was very edited and required a ton of manipulation at the end to not just sound like a bunch of stuff playing over itself since it started purely as a shot in the dark at what looping could do.
For this one the rules were that there would be a chord progression, there would be a tempo, and there would be no edits other than in or out. Once a loop was introduced, it would continue looping until it was pulled out entirely.
