RE: [microsound] re: on working methods for live performance
One step further and we have to ask ourselves why we
create/compose/perform/produce...
Is it for the music, or for the effect on others; for ourselves or for
others? Both? Neither?
When these questions are answered, I think, the other answers will fall into
place.
Microsound, and related genres of computerized musics have the particular
quality of having the creative process so utterly melded with production
that there is often little difference between the two (in my experience).
This is part of what makes performance difficult, and perhaps less engaging
than other types of music with more acoustic/electric instruments. ?
smattering of thoughts,

you covered a lot of ground in one post - but for me one thing resonated
through the whole message - that which works for some may be
pretentious, distracting or even irritating when done by another
artist. what's important in that is to know who/what you are and not
try to throw things in to satisfy others - if you do, it will most
likely take away from your performance rather than add to it. do only
what you feel is appropriate for your performance. the reaction will be
more genuine and accurate. after all, what you should be doing here is
sharing a part of yourself with the audience - so it it's not a part of
you then you shouldn't be worrying about whether it's a part of your
performance. and if it is, then it will probably fall into place
without worrying about it.
hopefully that makes some sense...
