Hey Qua, thanks for your nice words. I think there are a few interesting things here: First, this allows the performer to play at an event which happens at a live venue (which, in this case, was only a few kilometres away from me, but in the case of the 060430 gig with Krispen and Rick, they were some 6000 miles away from the venue - see below) without leaving his home - without having to break down and set up and break down and set up again, being able to fix himself a drink, talk to the video audience and explain what he is doing, taking a phone call or even have dinner, without the audience at the venue being aware of these "etracurricular activities". And today's technologies (in that case, a cheap webcam and a service like google video) allows us to make something like that visually available to the viewing public - like you. As a matter of fact, we have been doing such internet realtime collaboration thingies for some time, look at http://www.loopers-delight.com/cgi-bin/wilma_glimpse/LDarchive?query=kybermu sik&Search=Search&errors=0&maxfiles=50&maxlines=10&.cgifields=lineonly&.cgif ields=restricttofiles&.cgifields=filelist&.cgifields=partial&.cgifields=case and http://www.loopers-delight.com/cgi-bin/wilma_glimpse/LDarchive?query=kyberja m&Search=Search&errors=0&maxfiles=50&maxlines=10&.cgifields=lineonly&.cgifie lds=restricttofiles&.cgifields=filelist&.cgifields=partial&.cgifields=case the biggest one at the y2k6loopfest http://www.y2k6loopfest.com/ninjam.html and independently, www.t-u-b-e.de have started something like that independently some time after we did. And yes, I also believe (and hope) that these activities will increase in the future. Feel free to contact me via email if there are any questions left!
