It must have been made for someone to see. This was a professional shoot (with three cameras?), and EK could scarcely have been unaware of the closeup camera. That said, his gestures do seem to be part and parcel of his performing style, which is full of big, impulsive gestures. Reminds me a bit of watching Jim Carrey in his more manic roles. In the lute world, where gestures are normally small, I can see where it can inspire great enthusiasm in some auditors, and great annoyance in others. I suppose I'm somewhere in the middle, I suppose. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
