However the lack of pre-planning leaves open the possibility of falling flat on my face in a live setting.
Personally
I find that after 25 years of playing mostly improvised music, I am
now completely used to falling flat on my face and my gigs are usually
15% pure brilliance and genius, 10% struggling with technology problems
and 80% prostrate on the aforementioned face. I know I know, my math is
out, well THAT 5% is by cheating and having the loopers, sorry I mean
real time samplers (I prefer the term "Groovy rythym under mystical
powers" or GRUMP for short ) do their thing, or some weird tape of nose
flutes or my son talking backwards or my computer reading the bible...
Ive even stopped a loop that went horribly wrong and performed a magic
trick just to ... well you know... actually it wasnt a magic trick,
just that strange story about a chicken, with a towel.. what you mean
you havent seen it?? Well there was this chicken...
