Re: "Dragging Instruments Around" meets "laptop live"...
jesse - brilliant commentary.
watching people play music off their harddrive is boring. period. the
music may be great, the composer brilliant, but it just doesn't translate
in
a live context. and i don't consider myself a purist at all...but as one
who has spent the better part of the last decade playing traditional
instruments in front of people, i have a hard time allowing kids to walk on
stage with laptop and a mixing board and proceed to "remix" their music
live. i'd rather watch paint dry...both activities are equally compelling.
