In Performance??? You mean the highly riveting mouse
clicking between Lexaunculpt & Autechre are different?

Great Live Show?? I didn't think you could really do a
whole hell of a lot of "live" improvisation with
laptops. At one Lexaunculpt show, Alex had someone
else on stage clicking the mouse for him so he could
hang in the audience.
Sorry to be picky, clicking a mouse doesn't really
make for "great live shows" IMHO. Seeing someone
using gear is a hell of a lot more interesting.
However, if the music is vastly different from the
originals that would be nice hearing (not watching).
When I saw QBurns Abstract Message he was doing a hell
of a lot more then clicking a mouse. He had a
turntable and sampled stuff + manipulated it, played
some keyboards, and looked like he was having fun up
there. Now I didn't care for the music he was making,
but it was entertaining to watching him.
This post reflects the "live aspect", NOT the music.
I like both Autechre & Lexaunculpt work.
In a similar discussion I had with a friend, he said
he didn't want to pay to see djs anymore. That he
prefered seeing "live". Well if "live" means watching
someone click a mouse, I'll take a dj over that
anyday!
