I think it's sort of like the parent/teacher difference. A teacher influences many young minds, while a parent influences only a few -- but the influences are very different. You can have a parent and not a teacher, while you can't have a teacher and not a parent. The teacher also has only a limited amount of control over the average child, while a parent exerts a strong degree of control throughout the child's life. >i'm into trying to reproduce stuff in my head out in the air and i'm >interested that your methodology seems to frustrate you in this regard. But that's what I'm frustrated by. I can usually find something close to what I want and tweak it to be closer, but it's still almost never what I want. If I knew what to use and how to use it to get the sound I wanted, I would. But I can't effectively define the sound I want except to say "it sounds kinda like this but not quite". >also, since where i come from is a place of interaction and improvisation >in >a live sense, the way that you do sample manipulations provides an >interesting conceptual grind. See, that's what live shows ought to be about. If you can't track the crowd and have that give-and-take, you may as well be a CD. So if the musical methodology doesn't fit that process, you either use a different methodology or don't play live.
