Hi As a non-musician, I was wondering how 'live' _do_ and _can_ performances by electronic musician get? I'm not referring to making use of (semi) acoustic instruments (like drums, guitars, didgeridoos,...). In all performances I've seen so far (admitted, not too many) 'live' meant throwing in some extra sounds or improvising and repeating a little melody. It's not that I think this type of music _needs_ more live elements, I merely would like to see what possibilities there would be. (Like, does any of the artists discussed here improvise on the _rhythmic_ structures anyhow, etc.) Arjan.
