Machine Drum is great live, and so is Richard Devine.
There is an art to live electronic performance- and it's not just about
"looking busy"
they're playing that shit live from the source- Music doesn't just occur out
of thin air [or does it?;)] There's a high degree of organization- making
sure that everything goes through as planned.
Next time someone says that live electronic music is a pharce- tell them to
immediately print and present whatever the fuck it is that they're working
on.

Electronic music always sounds better "live" because it is closer to its
original source. Each time a sounds is processed, re-recorded, or dubbed, it
loses something. So even though the records are produced well, the sounds
coming directly from the lap-top are more pure.
This takes us to the root of electronic music, and computers, and even our
daily work. Nothing is as simple as pressing a button.
Also-it's great to meet the musicians. I suppose some shows have more energy
than others- Phonem is amazing live, as well as Patcha Kutek. Fucking
awesome.

hmm I don't know maybe some live improv, new and/or unique material
and a chance to meet them. Does that answer your question?
