I also like a good show with a good dynamic on stage, but you gotta
remember that most of these electronic musicians are just a single guy or
two, not making a lot of money, and not exactly making music that's easy
to translate over into "real" instruments. While I'd like to see a string
trio or horn section at the average IDM show, I also know that in most
cases the tour consists of the artist driving around the country in a
stinky old van, getting little sleep, and making little money. Unless the
other instrumentalists are an inherent part of the group, it's going to be
hard to convince them to tag along for the ride :D
I mean, it's sort of like complaining that your average indie film doesn't
have the best actors, the biggest explosions, and the most up-to-date CG
animation. I also usually only pay $5-$10 to see these guys in small
bars, not $50 in a giant stadium with huge video screens, but I think
being up close, even when the guy isn't the most active, is worth
something.
