do they just let a minidisc play or a sequencer run or do they actually play their stuff at live shows? (for example BoC, Aphex) |

Seems to vary from artist to artist. I've seen quite a few people like ovuca/astrobotnia, bogdan, hrvatski, mu-ziq who just use laptops. Id guess with them they are playing sequences but tweaking them in real-time. From what I remember of BoC they had loads of equipment ie keyboards, samplers etc so I guess they are more "live". Aphex seems to do lots of sets with decks and a laptop. AE, i read somewhere they do various types of live shows, sometimes full-on live with keyboards etc, sometimes using laptops. Squarepusher uses a laptop with lots of extra gear like fx boxs and midi controllers, and of course his bass guitar. |

I've seen ae twice, and they remain hidden in the darkness, but I remember seeing a couple of Apple laptops, and some virtual analog gear. And little pcket flashlights. |

In early 90s Ae were in Moscow. :) Unfortunately they have remained unnoticed and misunderstood.. :( They sounded really weird for usual moscow people, like UFO pilots from another planet! |

i havent seen ae live yet, but from what i've heard and read they're not that good apperantly they're quite boring and non imaginative well, i'll have to check that for myself to know perhaps i'll see gescom live later in september - that might help... |

depends what you are expecting really. last time i say em was on the confield tour at brixton academy. its quite hard to explain what they were like, but they created a very dark atmosphere. i havent heard confield, but my mate who has it said none of what they played was off the album, except for a few sounds here and there. the tracks were consatntly changing and all went on for about 10 mins. you couldnt dance to any of it, though some people tried, but it was far from "non imaginative". |

i've never seen one of aphex's "live" shows, where hes playing just his own stuff, but i've seen him do the dj/laptop thing quite a few times and its (nearly) always superb, real hi-energy music to get people dancing. |

Squarepusher apparently has lots of "live" elements. When i saw him this year, i believe he also had an autotuner or something, but he used it sparcely. I think this, because under one track he grabbed his mic, and said something while tweaking something. I've never really heard anything like it, but he used it way to little. |
