what if he's just not that type of artist? are people supposed to
completely change their style just to play live under these
conditions?
obviously promoters need to address these issues, as the live idm
question has come up again and again on this list. for now, i would
just say, stay away from multi-room venues unless the rooms are in no
way adjacent to one another. or to a loud bar next door. if you
can't do your art effectively, it's diminished and so may be people's
impressions of it.
perhaps a good thing to get in on for quieter music would be art
gallery openings and installations. i just saw one with grundik &
slava doing the sound a few days ago:
