The Loop is a solo album by drummer Andrew Cyrille. It was recorded in July 1978 at Ictus Studio in Pistoia, Italy, and was released later that year by ICTUS Records.[1]
The track titled "The News," which would reappear in an ensemble format on Cyrille's 2021 album The News, features unique sounds produced by a snare drum covered with a newspaper and played with brushes.[2] The composition called "The Loop" can also be heard on the 2004 album Duo Palindrome 2002 Vol. 1, as a duo performed by Cyrille and Anthony Braxton. Cyrille commented: "The loop, to me, is like a figure-8 laying on its side, like the infinity sign. You go back and you go forth, back and forth. It goes, DINK-duht-duht-DANK, DINK-duht-duht-DANK. Then on top of that, I improvise a rhythm with the drumsticks on the drumset, stating the basic rhythm on the hi-hat and bass drum, with that feeling of looping."[3]
