Beatboxing, live looping and Free Software

Take a look at the street performer Dub FX on YouTube; the layers of music he can create using just one microphone and a looping pedal are pretty impressive! There are a couple of Free Software programs that can be used for live looping - one is SooperLooper (GNU/Linux, Mac) and another is Freewheeling (GNU/Linux, Mac). Check out Patrick Shirkey's tutorial on using Freewheeling with Hydrogen too.
