I'm not much of a dancer, but for those of you who are help me out a minute. Exactly how would you dance to something like Confield? Do you just do a generic one-size-fits-all motion? Or do you move all limbs of your body in time to different parts of the song? Do you have to know the soundscape of the tune you're dancing to? Or are you able to predict what'll happen next (not easy with Autechre). It's not that I don't believe this music is danceable-to (without looking like a complete dork), I just can't visualise it myself. Can one dance to noise-IDM and not look like they're on a gram of speed? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
