 Hi Alan,

That loop is just from this song:
https://youtu.be/jj5nH0O8lmg

But i looped it past the regular bar and into the break, so you get a new rhythm that's not really in the song.

The punk jazz band The Minutemen said they only liked parts of songs, so when they wrote their own songs, at first they were very short, only like a minute long, because they only wrote the parts they most liked. The playdamage audio loops are inspired by that idea, combined with the infinite loop. The best parts forever. 

So, for instance:
The death metal part of moonlight on vermont by captain beefheart:
http://playdamage.org/81.html

The ambient part of don't look back by boston:
http://playdamage.org/62.html

A kind of defamiliarization of pop music via cropping and looping.

For fun, here is a classic minutemen cover of the best parts of van halen's ain't talkin bout love:

Best,
Curt
