umm well then what your saying is that its not all that important and that showman ship is more important I disagree with that one for sure... Im happier to hear an auraly perfect show then some thing thats only partly good aurally and perfect visually. Infact to be honest with you I usually pay no attention to stage presence and or visual stillulis when I go out to hear an artist play... > > Yes, I have.

I tend to not agree with that but then again I think we both went to 2 very different schools of 20th century music... I gather that in boston (I think thats where you went to right?) things are very different then up here in canadian schools... just a different way of looking at music I think...Ive heard your complaint from others who have studied 20th century music in US schools... its interesting as in canadian schools we were encrouaged to create works from mistakes, they called them happy accidents... infact its the happy accidents that led to me looking at dancefloor oriented musics and applying 20th and 21st centry ideas to it...but thats another thread... ;) > > It's for THAT reason that I came back to electronic music - because I > saw in it an opportunity to make music that was both self-satisfying and > somehow conversant with a listening public. came back, I thought you said you missed the whole late 80s/early 90s rave music thing... adn that your comming at it from a different perspective as a result at least thats what I got from your interview at the radio station that night... > > But that's a different story. > > -- > Dennis DeSantis > www.dennisdesantis.com > -------------------------------------- [neil adam wiernik aka naw] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [music available on] http://www.noisefactoryrecords.com http://www.pieheadrecords.com http://www.worthyrecords.com http://www.complot.ca [artist features] http://www.clevermusic.net http://www.newmusiccanada.com http://www.cognitionaudioworks.com --------------------------------------
