Allow me to begin the preaching to the choir {now that we're all seated again...) I'm curious to hear how folks on the list are using their instruments live. Anyone care to share their thoughts on the subject?

Just as I was saddling up my pinto to ride into the sunset, you HAD to go ahead and post that review. Haven't read the book, but couldn't agree with the reviewer more. Outside of the fact that his style is even more bilious than my own, *jai pence,* the man is outright inspired.

I'm with ingo on this, and completely disagree with the "Electric Sound" reviewer. He/she seems to have fit their impinged their own philosophy on Chadabe's book and used that as reasoning to slam the entire experimental or electronic music scene. Some specific points: Agreed, th

Very well stated Doug. Some of us use the modular synthesizer as a real time control surface, whether performing or recording live, playing the knobs, not the keys. I spent three years of synth VA (Reaktor back when it was Generator) and another 10 years before that in non-realti
