Hello,
I've been lurking on this list for the better part of 6 months now, and I
thank all of you for your news, views, and reviews; it has been most
interesting. The main reason I have not posted up until now is that my
computer is at work and I feel that just reading my incoming mail is
taking enough time away from my company, if I start posting, I'll never
get any work done! But I am fairly well connected to the scene here in
San Francisco, so if anyone comes through town don't hesitate to drop me
some mail and I'll let you know where to buy/listen to some great music.
;-)
(idm)Anyway, I have a question. A friend of mine and I went to the
Chemical Brothers show this past weekend, and upon seeing that the music
was being generated by two 'mad professor' types bobbing their heads to
the beats and twiddling knobs and pushing buttons on stacks of black
boxes, she asked me 'What exactly are they doing?'. And I must admit, I
didn't really know. So I put it to someone out there, when a techno act
perform 'live', what are they really doing? Assume I know very little
about the current technology.
Thanks,
Paul
