`been playing tetris, for all I know.. But, the guy before him had a few `toys along with his laptop: some sort of touch-sensitive pad, a small `keyboard (?) and a toy turntable (plus other stuff?). This guy was really `getting into it and he was fun to watch and listen to. He had a overhead `projector that he used to display the algorithm for each "piece" of music. `I believe he was using Max on his laptop... your are referring to randy jones aka 2up technologies and member of *polar. he used a touchtek pad, a laptop running max, a pc1600 slider box, and toy turntable for one piece and that is pretty much it. randy is one of more interesting musicans i know. also is one of the main forces behind the onadime software, which if you like to create visual pieces is one of the best applications i've seen, makes xpose look like the kiddie toy it is. if you have every been to aro.space, it is installed there. `Lex played a few tunes that I had not heard before... One memorable one `included the "Fuck tha police" sample from NWA (?). I am not sure if Lex `uses other hardware besides his computer in the studio, but it would make `his shows a lot more entertaining if he has a few more things to play with `on stage... ;) lex uses different hardware and software in the stuff, but live it is all max. fuck tha police was done for the comp that recently came out but wasn't. too bad as lex's take on it is head's and shoulders above what did make it on the comp. your right though, laptop rockin isn't the most interesting thing to watch. regardless, though i had a great time seeing randy and alex play live (though the opening bastard should have been shot for making people listen to that noise.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I don't know, I was told by a reliable source that he just plays .aiff files in Peak during shows and pretends he's doing something. At least he was doin' that last year.

past tense for the most part. i've spent fair amount of time with alex when he came to seattle and the there is a definate progression from what he was doing last year (he was here last sept) and what he did earilier this month. he has never hide what he does, and has been very up front about how he did them. he is playing some of his music, mostly pre-recorded but more and more run through max patchs so he can manipulate stuff. i often wonder at what point is it live? once the harddrive is removed? he can choose when and which tracks to play and how to mix and filter them, no different then a dj really or some tiggering midi patterns. personally i don't think it matters, and i am one myself who plays a pretty live set by most standards as well as seen what tradionally live music performers do. i've seen so many bands rehearse to the point that they are just as or more automated then any laptop rocker could hope to be:) i tend to agree that most electronic shows are visually boring (hell most live shows period are boring), the problem is how do you create a live show for something that is studio music. for many there is no way to truly represent the creative process in a live setting. is why most times i try to incorperate a visual element or idea. using some adaptive software helps for the more 'live' show as well as when you are providing it as a back drop for all the artist. i am alway curious to hear what other folks think and why. i don't think there is any right way, but there is without questions things that appeal to me and things that don't. i tend to be as interested in why certain things don't appeal to me as much as i am interested in the things that do. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Wait, I thought Funkstörung did that. Or was it Funckarma...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
