I'm really really glad to see this thread on the list, I wanted to
ask about it myself.
Recently, I was invited to perform at a concert in the U.K. I turned
it down, mainly because I do not want to become a member of the
"memorex club": musicians who noodle on a keyboard against a
pre-recorded or sequenced background.
I hate concerts like this, where the musician(s) don't actually PLAY,
the fill in a couple empty spaces, you can't tell which is live and
which is memorex and I'm positive some of the time they are
lip-syncing with their fingers. I don't go to concerts because this
is always what it's like.
I do not mean to insult the musicians on this list who do this. I
understand that it is commonplace and an accepted method of
performance.
But since the message about this topic expressed his disappointment
in attending a concert like this I am curious to know how others of
you feel about it.
Please feel free to email me privately.
Regards,
Jan
