ukslim Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 The Prodigy explain very well what they and other artists from the genre do with their live music near the end of this short interview. http://www.muzu.tv/theprodigy/the-prodigy-...ic-video/205192 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukslim Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 for you maybe. if you read my previous posts i have given you a nice selection of videos of artists who use this to their advantage by using their free hands/co-ordination to make their show better, be this by increased crowd interaction or a controlled audio visual show.

Kyelo Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I thought that when they were being Soulwax, they were a "proper" live band (although I've not seen them). ... and when they're being 2 Many DJs, they mix records, and don't pretend to be making live music.

spiky_simon Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 They use Ableton but the very fact they have 4 Moog Voyagers in there means that there is actually synthesis happening in ze pyramid, not just triggering samples with Ableton. Granted not quite fully live but a mix of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyelo Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I love Daft Punk but seriously, their show in Melbourne was exactly the same as the Alive CD (recorded in Paris) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 That may well be but why have 4 synthesizers? They can't just be for show because nobody can see them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clean Shirt Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 No, it's a terrible analogy. Because neither the computer artist nor the pencil artist expects you to watch them draw. They just show you the finished article. So that's like listening to a CD. What I've suggested is that it's less interesting to watch a person operating a sequencer, than it is to watch a person playing an instrument (be it electronic or not). And twiddling knobs to change the timbre isn't enough to make it interesting to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
