This is a curious thing. I happen to agree with it (especially taking
it out of context of the discussion-I haven't heard Kris' music). I
think it goes both ways. Last Wednesday, my loop show to me was a
tragic failure, yet the audience really liked it. I had requests to
get on the mailing list (which I don't have) and for recordings
(which I didn't bring). However, had I made "better art" and been
satisfied by my own performance, would I have gotten the positive
audience reaction? Should I cry foul at the audience for liking what
I did?
Hmmmm.
