>First of all, the mu-Ziq performance here in Seattle last week was

>It's great to see electronic/computer composers travelling so far from home

>connect with the fans.
>
>This show was marred only by some idm newbie(s) who started name-dropping
>towards the end of Mike's set and sent him off abruptly, having been
>insulted
>by the overly-enthusiastic, but obnoxious youth. Mike did come back on
>stage
>later and was quite friendly with the fans, but I think some folks should
>learn
>a little more respect for the artists.

>I am also wondering about the fact the "HIM" are really not a good match
>for
>either the local IDM artist that opened, or Mike's music. I like live jazz
>as
>much as the next music fan, yet it is a totally different experience when
>you're not in the mood. But enough about the show...

>I am curious to know what gear Mike had connected to his laptop, and how
>much
>of it was actually used. We have a number of laptop artists here in
>Seattle,
>and I have been trying to convince a few of them to work with some higher

>FireWire or USB audio and MIDI gear. I don't perform myself, so I realize
>that
>what I connect to my laptop in the studio, or for live recording, is maybe
>not
>the best for performance. I did recognize the eMagic MT4, but only saw the
>back panel of two FireWire devices, one of which was an external D/A which
>fed
>the house through a direct box. Someone in the Seattle audience went up
>after
>the crowd dispersed and grabbed a few shots with a digital camera, so I'd
>like
>to take a look at those if that individual gets word of my interest.
>Someone
>else guessed that Mike was using an Mbox, but the back panel does not match
>what I saw.

>Anyway, sorry for the tech-head questions. I'm not trying to duplicate
>Mike's
>setup, just to learn what's working for him.

>P.S. I had three people mistake me for Mike Paradinas the day of the show.
>What a strange thing. Maybe the photo in the local paper had something to
>do
>with that...
