some comments:
i don't mind if the sound is coming from a laptop or a sampler/sequencer...
but I like to HEAR the music in constant changing... I can put 200 different
patterns on a sequencer and just change them in realtime... or I can set a
audio app to change them in realtime while I drink a coffee (or twist a
knob)...
aiff/wav files or cds are crap. you just can't change them in realtime...
ok, you can, but like a dj with a fx processor. but the basic material is
there, unchanged.
idm on stage is the same as any music on stage... but I just don't like the
idea of the Italian archetype of stage where the artist is looked by some
people and try to entertaint them...
I like the idea of self-generated music where the artist just can't control
everything... like playing on a band and you just can't say to the bass
player "play it louder!"... but we can control in realtime some aspects of
the sound, and i'm not talking about that filter sweep on trance music... i
just don't like repetitive music... if i put a cd and use a effect to
changing it on the fly i feel nothing because the source isn't changing you
know?... cd is a static media. it's finished. If i ask my drum machine to
random change its pattern, program patterns waiting this random change, and
mess with it live. if you can do it, and people still dance, it's ok. if
they can't, it's ok also.
quantization is not a problem. any good software can extract groove
patterns, copy it to your lines and apply random changes to them (5% it's
fine? ). in realtime.
"real" instruments are old history.
analog modeling is just one principle, you can use it or not, if you prefer.
but it's better. and there isn't 'an analog modeling sound' as there isn't a
'kyma' sound. or a programmer sound. there is BAD musicians.
which DSP systems do you use? anyone working outside the subtrative,
additive (70's)/sampler (80's)/granular (90's)? these ways to generate
sounds are not really new, we just find some ways to apply them.
i like visuals. not all the time.
