I saw Markus Popp perform at the MCA in Chicago this summer and it was
actually very similar to his work on CD. I think he was probably actually
playing CDs on stage. He performed a track off "diskont94" and i think a lot
of the newer stuff on "szenariodisk" (i hadn't gotten it yet) plus the remix
of Pizzicato 5 as his finale. It sounded similar but takes on a different
context when performed at such volume.
Incidentally the P5 remix is much more in tune with what he was doing with
"dok", so I wonder if the Squarepusher remix is a sign of what's to come from
his new software explorations.
