For me , a techno live show would me djing my own records. I am a producer and a DJ, I am not a performer. One of the reasons that led me to techno and house production was that performing skills didn't influence the music as much as in other styles (same thing happens with image, and I think this two facts are related)
In other words, good thing about electronic music is that it comes from your heart and your mind right to the computer, with much less skill involved than, let's say, opera or pop. When I produce I program almost everything, I even record filter sweeps and so. To perform live I have to put everything in the computer (I'm not moving my whole studio) and the result is much worse than the original. What I've done sometimes is to record a "live set" at the studio and just play it, and I don't think it's cheating. Let's forget about the pop/rock stereotype, electronic music is different daweed ----- Original Message ----- From: John Osselaer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 5:49 PM Subject: RE: [313] fuel to the fire : was "hawtin hawtin everywhere" > > > > >True, the only indication i had during Todd Sines' live pa that he was > >changing something up on his laptop was when he started wiggling his ass > >and > >bobbing his head ... and he was doing a lot of that! > > > >Maybe bigger and better cooler looking external controllers are the way > >forward since it solves both problems.
