since i try to just be silly, and not get taken seriously, i guess you'll
not want to read that most of what i experience is improv, using mostly
"prepared" and prerecorded material and samples. although, you can be right,
that's what some people probably do, just use a sequencer that plays the
sound files like a sampler, using a mixer and eq and adjusting the levels
of the instruments being used, but just running out a preprogrammed song.
I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just not my experience.
lots of artists use the hardware setup to improvise, doing live sequencing
of the preprogrammed patterns, and also running them through plug-ins, which
work like little effects boxes, processing signals, but do more elaborate
things than a stomp box would, not just adding distortion or echo or
phasing, but affecting the particles of the 'song' in a more granular
synthesis sort of way. still, it IS possible that some people just press
start and stop, affecting things slightly along the way, but
with an 8 minute tk always being an 8 minute track. to me, that's less than
art, but better to hear the sounds on a big PA live, than on our geeky
computer speakers forever! :) rebecca
PS: yes, my no named friend, i KNOW you have your PA hooked up to your pc's
in the living room!
