On the subject of live performances and the emerging reliance on laptop
computers onstage:
To me, the music will be one of two things: something incredibly energetic
and funky and makes me want to dance OR something that just has a nice
relaxed vibe about it, regardless of tempo and makes for a great soundtrack
to my regular routine. (or a bit of both)
Even if a laptop was all that was on stage aside form the performer, I am
more interested in what delightful creations they are unleashing. The only
thing I would expect are signs from the performer that show they are at
least enjoying what they are doing, even as simple as smiling. As a musician
myself, I find myself analyzing the music more than the people performing,
and perhaps the latter if I really enjoy their music. The music is however
the reason for it all. It's art, and who cares what processes they use as
long as it is good music. I would maybe be concerned if it looked like they
pressed play and stood back for a few minutes at a time, but other than
that, like I said, it's about the product.
