Re: [microsound] ... laptops everywhere



I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING I TRULY DON'T SEE LAPTOP PLAYING BECOMING A 
MAINSTAY, OR A POSITION THAT WILL BE DESIRED BY MANY BANDS, MAINSTREAM AND 
UNDERGROUND.  I USE A LAPTOP, WHICH I RUN INTO A MIXER, WITH An ALTERNATE CD 
PLAYER, AND I ALSO BOUNCE BETWEEN PLAYING WITH CIRCUIT BENT TOYS AND SOME MINOR 
INSTRUMENTS TO BRING LIFE TOO A DRONE SITUATION OF STARRING AT THE LAPTOP 
DROPPING SOUNDS IN AND OUT OF THE GRID ON STAGE.  
I DO THINK LAPTOP PERFORMANCE IS BRILLIANT IN ITS OWN ASPECT, A FRIEND ONCE 
SAID TO ME THAT LAPTOPPING GIVES A LITTLE BIT OF FAME TO THE NERDS THAT USE TO 
MAKE GAMES ON THEIR TI-85 GRAPHING CALCULATOR IN MATH CLASS.  
HOPEFULLY LAPTOP PERFORMANCE WILL BLEND INTO A MORE IN-DEPTH FIELD AND NOT 
DISAPPEAR LIKE THE KEYBOARD PIANOS FROM THE 80'S........THAT I MISS          
HAHA
