funny you should ask, jeremy - pole, friedman and jelinek (gramm/farben) will be broadcast live tonight, beginning around 8 or 9 p.m. Pacific Time (US). and it will be archived subsequently, in case you can't turn in tonight. www.betalounge.com -phil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

When i saw Friedmann "perform" he mixed with a small mixer and what looked like 5 Minidisc players (perhaps dat.. couldn't see). Probably MD though...

Right, that's exactly what he's been doing - mixing anywhere between 5 and 10 MD players, running MDs of tracks he's done before hand. I can't tell if by Ryan's scare-quotes he thinks that doesn't qualify as a performance, but in my opinion, it's worlds away from simply hitting the play button on a DAT. I've seen him do it three times now (once in Barcelona, twice in SF) and every time it's been totally compelling, unpredictable, musical as fuck, funky, not to mention risky - there are times when it verges on collapsing, and he pulls it back. I think people forget how important the aspect of risk is in live performance. In my opinion, what Friedmann is doing isn't at all "performing" - it's performing, playing, rocking out, and doing it masterfully. (apologies, Ryan, if i misread your quotation marks...) -phil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

saw him pull this off last night, it was definitely engaging ... i mean the music is interesting enough that i don't need a pile of gear to enthrall the trainspotter in me... great show overall: farben, friedman and pole ... der Deutsche Diskoexpress i gotta say you know you are seeing something special when you can get the usually motionless chicago scenesters dancing. numerous props to all involved in bringing this lineup to chicago (mike javor et al) later josh -- String Theory : Digital Music for Humans http://www.enteract.com/~yoshi/index.cgi On Tue, 17 Oct 2000, Philip Sherburne wrote:
