one trick pony // visionary
tom-ay-to // tom-ah-to
you could say the same thing about mark rothko, steve reich or any other
artist who works at developing a personal style rather than trying to go
for a "flavor of the month" sound like Autechre
my take on popp is that he is a very intelligent artist with a
distinct goal in mind, who has developed a process for achieving this goal
which he then executes both in the studio and in live settings. he does
not do this "for the fans" and i think it's rather selfish for fans of the
music to feel that they are owed face-time with the artist just because
they came to the show.
keep in mind that the stereotype of "computer geeks" being anti-social
exists primarily because it's true in 90% of the cases. human interaction
does not come easily to many of us. social unease is very easily
misconstrued as pomposity.
