misjudged performances

[taylor deupree <taylor@xxxxxxx>]

on the subject of audience reactions..

on a recent 3 date tour i did with panacea and steve roden for 
caipirinha's architettura series in Brasil... one of the performances 
went really, really badly. for one thing the press had called us all 
DJs in the newspaper.. and people saw that it was an "electronic 
music night" and all assumed it was a rave... they were very sadly 
disapointed when the show was in a (beautiful) sit down auditorium 
type setting.. we even had hecklers in the audience.. they simply 
weren't prepared for the type of sounds they heard.. i guess there is 
still a notion that live electronic performances are DJs or raves or 
something like that.

it was probably a good idea to open some people's minds to these 
sounds.. as there didn't seem to be much of an experimental music 
scene in brasil... but it was a very difficult performance from us.. 
we even got bashed in the next day's newspaper...
