not true, the composer is usually seated in the audience and her presence is
made when the audience is being seated and after the performance...so while
the focus is not on the 'performer' per se there is also no attempt to
conceal the performer from the audience...

sometimes...other times the composer simply pushes the 'play' button and
diffuses the piece into a space

agreed 1000% :)
