Kim Flint, the founder of the loopersdelight.com, and co-founder of Aurisis (along with designer Matthias Grob), the company that developed the highly innovative and influential Echoplex Digital Pro looping delay, was killed on June 19th, 2010 while riding his bike in the Berkeley, California hills. Kim will be fondly remembered for many reasons, including bringing together an international group of like-minded musicians who continue to push the envelope of looping technology. Loopers Delight will continue to operate in his honor. —Bill Walker
