Abstract

This interview contextualizes the music of Robert Hampson, firstly with the bands Loop and Main (which became a solo project), and then within the area of musique concrète and acousmatic music. Hampson discusses his initial influences and the move from psychedelic post-punk guitar to guitarless abstract sound compositions, and why he has reformed a new version of Loop.
