Re: [microsound] Re: livecoding
Not sure i agree with you unless there is something i am not
considering. Whatever the medium you DJ in(wax, cd's, mp3's) the
average Joe understands most of what's going on. Even more advanced DJ
techniques like live mashing and the like. Your average Joe is going
to have a harder time following a live performance by an electronic
artist who sits behind the screen of his laptop multitasking between
software, twiddles knobs on various controllers, effect peddles/decks,
blah blah blah. A live electronic show(for lack of a better
description) alienates the audience much more then a traditional DJ
does. Sure there is always an exception to the rule,(like if i was to
perform live booty music that i composed and arranged where the
audience could dance and involve themselves with), but for the most
part i think its true.

nah, that's just marketing. no-one understands djing either, and it's
no more or less intellectual, but that doesn't stop people showing up
in droves.
