Mike Love is a musician based in Oahu, Hawaii who uses randomness in his music. Over 12 loops he builds a song through sporadic syllables that culminate into full lyrics. I admire the amount of precision it requires for Love to be able to succeed in communicating his lyrics over the numerous loops he creates. I also admire his unique approach to making music, and how it requires a process. Love randomly chooses the syllables he wants to say over a single loop and by the end of 12 loops he has created full lyrics. Love believes that the process and message is most important in his work, focusing on messages that affect change when it is necessary, specifically focusing on being accountable for your actions.
