Re: [microsound] on working methods for live performance

I'm not sure if the word 'guy' is appropriate as Kaffe Matthews is a 
woman.  However, I think you're right about the laptop thing. You 
should check out the live performance work of Nic Endo.  She has her 
own solo projects and also works with Alec Empire.  There's a powerful  
live solo by her on the Alec Empire 'Death Favours the Enemy' DVD

Hi all,
I'm currently researching "live electronic music performance" for a
university project and was hoping some of you may like to share your 
opinions on the
matter.

For instance, do think it's important for the audience to know the 
performers
working process?  Do you think the guy and his powerbook is boring or 
the way
to go?  Who puts on a good show using electronics?
In my opinion, leafcutter john, kaffe matthews and fennesz are doing 
the most
interesting stuff at the moment.  Kaffe Matthews makes her working 
methods
very clear.  Do you think it would be the same if we weren't aware and 
took the
sound at face value?  Leafcutter has his "midi breasts" thing going on. 
 Who
else uses interesting interfaces?  Fennesz (in my opinion) is the only
powerbook guy who can really pull it off.
What do you reckon?
Looking forward to hearing your opinions,
Michael Wright.
