A look back at Loop 2016
In early November we welcomed 900 guests to the historic Funkhaus in Berlin for Loop 2016 – an exchange of ideas, techniques and inspirations around music, technology and creative practice. For us, it was a truly remarkable three days of connections, insights and fun – and we’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to all attendees and participants for making Loop 2016 so special.
The discussions, presentations, workshops and performances that took place over the weekend were both inspiring and educational, and we’ll be posting about what we saw, heard and learned in the coming months. In the meantime, we’d like to share some choice images and insights from three days of Loop.
