well i haven't played live per se, but from experience (ha!), most
electronic musicians *do* bring at least half of their equipment =)
it really depends on what you want to do live. it usually works best to
have a very response and well-learned sampler and a couple boxes for
effects. i'm sure that a lot of the live "idm" acts that go around now have
either a couple samplers hooked up with midi clocks, or bring a laptop or
something that can let them transfer files quickly to the sampler.
besides samplers, most electronic musicians also have a keyboard, a rhythm
type machine (altho those vary a lot), and some sorth of box thing (like an
analog boxy sequencer thingy wif fun effects), and most likely an effects
box or 2 or four. it really depends on what you have, and what you want to
do, tho.
usually it works best to have a lot of your patterns and sequences all set,
and just punch it all in right on your hardware, and then go to town wif
effects and mixing.
if yo'ure having a hard time figuring out how people play live, take some of
your own tracks and try to get them all set up on hardware, and then play
them live at home. see if you can pull it off. it's cheezy and old, but
"practice, practice, practise" ;)
toodles,

> as an "electronic musician" i work mainly out of my home studio. i am
beginning to explore the realm of paying live, and it has confounded me for
a long time how people pull it off. i usually cant see beyond bringing half
my equipment, setting it up and pressing "play". maybe twisting a few knobs.
anyone familiar with some different techniques they could share?
