Guys, your discussion in this thread makes it impossible to hold back
this final question:
Is it cheating to compose the music before you perform it?
LOL, that's a good and funny question. Of course not.
But I also think that one's intentions in art have some impact on the art.
In other words, if you are setting out to break the world speed record
for flatpicking
(as I saw on a particularly funny and odious video on youtube last
night) and
you play a Beatles song on an old beater acoustic guitar you have sort
of failed, haven't you?
If you come to headline a live looping festival and you don't make a
single loop in real time
in front of the audience and merely play over triggered samples and
loops, then that's a
'fail' in my book.
As I said in my last thread, I was really only talking about the live
looping festival
and not at all about all music.
I'm passionate and opinionated at times, but I'm not that black and
white about the subject of
music.
I absolutely love composed music and, if the truth be told, I've been
working for the last year on
a project that is entirely composed.............there may not even be
looping in it at all......whooooaaaaaaah!!!!
