Bob Henry... > Alright...kudos to Matt!!! I'm in agreement with U about live >performance. > Don't really see the point in paying money to see someone on stage >"playing" > their computer...what's the point, right? Well, that analogy works fine for, I guess, the people *you're* talking about. But when you start getting into people like Pauline Oliveros and others, who are developing real-time interactive computer interface methods, the issue gets much grayer. While it's easy to "write" a bunch of tunes, sequence them, then play backing tracks for you to show off to. It's far different when someone approaches each performance with a blank slate, no net, and an open mind to the possibilities. Walking the wire once again... -Miko
