Adam -
Wow, i posted a review to idm & someone agreed!
Amazing!
If the laptop performers put up a placard telling
you they were using loopops, propellerheads, reaktor 6,
wowfactor, kosmik music or whatever name the latest
tweak program was - ok i made some up -
then we'd all be home downloading the stuff, messing
about ourselves & why bother going out?
(i have actually tried a few myself, but i make no
pretense that i've mastered any of them)
i've been a music appreciator 4 many years, what i
respect is how interesting the sounds are that are
being manipulated....
the most fascinating performance i ever attended was
david toop at the purcell room who had a hundred bamboo
conical shaped object that were manipulated into the
computer wizardry & when i later went up to toop &
told him i never imagined the sounds came from those
objects, he replied 'you've got a strange brain'
like they probably say somewhere else,
it aint the meat, it's the motion...
i'm really sorry i mist the pole show down in london.
ok, gang, flame on...
