[microsound] performance discussion

[Chris O'Shea <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I've been lurking on microsound for a few weeks and I am very interested 
in the laptop performance discussion, so thought I would throw in two 
things to see what everyone thought.

1) what do you think about live coding as a performance? Where an artist 
types in programming code to create the sound, such as Toplap 
(www.toplap.org). The fact that the programming code is projected on the 
screens is to give the audience an understanding of the process that is 
going on to create the audio. Does the understanding of the process 
increase ones appreciation of the sound & performance?

2) what do you think to tactile interfaces as an alternative to laptop 
performances? Here are some example projects:
Audiopad - http://www.jamespatten.com/audiopad/
Blockjam - http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/IL/projects/blockjam/
Scanjam - http://www.muratnkonar.com/id/scanjam/
(Scanjam is a concept project by two royal college of art students)
Audiocubes - http://www.audite.at/en/projects_audiocube.html

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on any of the above.

Cheers
