i guess i never got over the part where laptops became accepted parts of
performance.
zzzzzzzzz
yuck. how excited can you get watching somebody stare straight ahead at a
screen clicking a button -- im not arguing anything crazy like its not
really playing "live", it's just really really boring as far as performances
go (unless you got some other stuff going on up there too). i see people
staring at laptops everyday, how am i supposed to go out at night and get
excited by that. i make music and understand they're probably doing lotsa
stuff, i dont care it's still nothing to look at. it's nothing new, but the
more and more i see it the more boring and samey and mystical (whats on that
screen?) electronic music performance seems to be. i see it as a really
negative trend, as convenient etc as they are for performers...
i also dont know what to think of this whole automatic perfect beatmatching
thing. less and less human...
the whole process of performing less and less physical, tangible...more
complicated, cerebral, expensive, elite...
i know there are lots of tech-savvy people on here who dont agree at all,
thats ok...
