'Grain, Sequence, System'
[three levels of reception in the performance of laptop music]
Intro:
The increasing use of laptop computers in the performance of
electronic music has resurrected timeworn issues for both musicians
and audiences. Liberated by the use of the laptop as a musical
instrument, musicians have blurred the boundaries separating studio
and stage, as well as the corresponding authorial and performance
modes of work. On the other hand, audiences experience the laptop’s
use as a musical instrument as a violation of the codes of musical
performance. This is not a new issue for electronic music: the lack of
visual stimuli while performing on technological “instruments” has
plagued electronic music for over 40 years with little progress in
providing solutions. This essay discusses issues of performance from
the point of view of how electronic music is received rather than how
it is presented. Drawing on concepts found in “reception theory,” I
will examine three levels of reception inherent in the performance of
laptop music as used in the performance of contemporary electronic
music. These three levels are: the grain of laptop performance, the
sequence of historical linkages, and the system of super-culture and
its effect of the reception apparatus of the public.
