I want to start doing some more gigs soon! BUT! When I was in
Australia I performed but found it difficult to put on a good show.
I know it's about the way you sound and not the way you act but?
How can I (An electronic Muso) have as much stage energy as a Rock
band? I want to sound better but also represent heaps of dance energy!
I renember doing a gig in a competition, and at the end the judges
said: "Excellent use of the tape recorder" Not realising it was a
hardware sequencer that I spent MONTHS AND MONTHS PROGRAMING!
How do we prove that we worked hard to build our compositions? and
not just copied loops.
If you watch a good Jazz band you know they have practised because
you can see them playing there instruments. I feel the majority of
audiences don't understand what goes into an Electronic performance.
I want to represent my music better.
If anyone can suggest something It would be good to know.
Cheers.
