Hello. So: they make IDM, but hey! Do they dance themselves the artists? It's music I know, but if it's so intelligent and dancable, shouldn't they be having the spastic chicken legs behind their computers and mixable tables? I have never been to a concert, but I've seen them on youtube. Afex: no. Not moving. Autekre: No, looking at screen. Mike P: He bobs head up and down behing mac-pc. Same with Squarepusher. What about the rest? My guess is that cylob can dance. Not the others. |

Yeah. Squarepusher can dance with the bass. I give him credits for that |

I think it's inappropriate. It is an ugly spectacle seeing people dancing to IDM. Techno's bad enough, one need only think of the appalling images in the Techno Viking video. But an IDM artist should never dance to his own music, like a comedian shouldn't laugh at his own jokes. I think an IDM musician could possibly laugh at their own music once in a while. And I'd like to see Jim Davidson do spastic, Cygnus style gurning to a bit of granualized sped up breakbeat. |

Can Vlari dance to his own mixes based on other peoples tracks? Or is that like a comedian laughing to old jokes he stole from others? |

I think it's best if the musician, and the act of dancing, are seperate. You don't want to be fucking Moby, even fucking Moby doesn't want to be Moby, I'm sure. Better to be like Richardjames having an onstage dancer to deal with the dance interpretation side of the musical performance, which was an idea he stole off of Howard Jones, who used to employ some form of onstage gimp chained to his synth. Something I personally would like to see revived today. |

What's your problem with the Techno Viking? He's great and he makes me very happy. |

But you're a seasoned aesthete. I, on the other hand, have a very weak stomach. |
