prolly about as hard as it is to get IDM artists to get their recorded
rap / singing vocalists on stage with them for 'shows'
man, the plaid / prefuse 73 / a. weatherall show had some really great
production, but really poor stage presence... admitted i was a bit drunk
and it came at the end of a shitty day, but when i pay $20 for a show, i
want some entertainment, dammit! last 2 shows i saw at bimbo's were
(admittedly long ago...2+ years?):
1) femi kutti - oh dude, that was awsome...
2) cold cut - now that's a laptop show!
i understand that laptop shows often resemble dj sets more than
performances (with a much higher level of mixing and selection, given) -
perhaps the venue should reflect this? who knows...
so, to create some crossover - how about some s-video out guys? i mean,
with external instruments, the audience can at least get some idea of
the artists interaction with their media. this would give you a similar
presence?
np: Elliott Smith - I Didn't Understand (via rusty's somafm.com - good
enough to excuse the occasional house track that makes it's way to the
clickhop stream ;^))
