Live electronic music

If someone is doing really live stuff on a laptop, it would
be pretty nice to see what's going on. I wonder how a large
projection of the activity in whatever music program being
used would work? You know-it'd be like watching a guitarist
or whatever, only with the thing being "played" a computer
sequencer package. If it were, say, Appleton Live, you'd be
watching things being dropped in and out and effects being
manipulated and so on.

You could rave to it, or watch what the heck the guy's up to
on the projection, or do both.

Or maybe it's just a crap geeky idea. ;-)

i prefer trippy visuals when i'm out dancing my sox off on
drugs, not visuals of an audio app on a pc..

but maybe that's just me. :o

i dont think they would want to give away how they make the
music, sort of spoils the magic of it...doesent it?

Well, it wouldn't be giving away how it was made. It would
just be showing how they are manipulating stuff in a live
context.

I mean, I watched Vibert doing his stuff in Traktor after I
got too tired to dance any more, and it was pretty fun to
see what was going on. A fair few people stood behind having
a look too.

There isn't anything bad about trippy visuals. ;-)

when i went to the warp:united gig in leeds people could go
round behind and watch what they were doing. i was too busy
going mental though

i would fucking love to watch someone go about the live
process on their laptop. it would be very educational.

ive thought about htis a lot too. just pressing play and as
the sequencer /whatever goes, add in vsts, turn knows move
stuff. slice beats and all the other crazy stuff you can do
in something like Reason, FL, or Native Instruments stuff.
That would be a good idea.

It was just a fucking example.

Was it a bad one? I've never even used the software. But
people seem to reccommend it for live stuff.

there are people who do this.

I think I saw a picture of global goon playing a gig, with
Live being projected.

Could be wrong though... but if definately seen it done.

no, no, I know. My response was very paranoid and
defensive.

appleton. Might be a good artist name, eh?

worry.

i have thought about this as well mr. cs2x, but instead of a
software thing being projected, i would love to see say for
instance... underworld with their mammoth loads of hardware
synths, samplers, sequencers, drum machines and tools, being
projected... i think the computer tweeking should be left in
the dark.... because it ruins the surprise for me anyway...
i don't want to know if they're just hitting play and
letting the computer screen play along... i want to see the
hardware being manipulated

Yes, you're right. That would be even better! Especially
with bands like Underworld and all their hardware stuff.

But my idea was for those artists who do live stuff on
laptops, and *aren't* just pressing play, but are in fact
doing quite a bit of on-the-fly manipulation. I'd just be
nice to see them doing what they are doing, I guess. I can
see why people would disagree, but to me it's just like
playing another instrument.

ok... maybe there is one person who comes into mind when i
want to see some manipulation on a large projector... that
person is richard devine...

i am liking the noise that comes out of his laptop right now

I am actually not bothered as long as the music is good.
When it comes to my own live performences there isn't that
much to look at you know.
