The thing about laptop music in a live context is that usually the
"success" of a performance has far more to do with the venue, setting, and
crowd than it does the actual performance. I guess it's a bit of a John
Cage thing.
Last I time I saw Lexaunculpt live was at this Chinese restaurant/bar in
Costa Mesa called The Bamboo Terrace opening up for Mixmaster Morris.
Sure, Alex did his thing... sitting in front of his laptop, mildly moving
his head, looking like he was doing homework, etc. etc. The best part of
the show were the drunken looneyheads that were left over from before the
"doors opening" that were going "What the fuck is THIS guy doing? These
guys really like this stuff?". The culture clash was pretty entertaining.
