> Just wondering when the last time Eno played live on stage was
Personally, I've see him playing
live in 2002, here in Rome.
He had never sat and between songs
(it was the "Drawn From Life" tour,
with Peter Schwalm and other five
musicians on drums, bass, guitar,
violin and percussion) he was all
the time jocking with audience and
doing funny things with vocoider
and a kaoss pad.
But I dont' think
it's relevant how many gigs he does,
due to the fact that he is not
"just" a musician, but also a producer,
a visual artist and
more....
> It's not narrow minded as an observation of the audiences at
every
single loopfest I've ever gone to. The audience are the performers. There are a narrow slice of people who do go to shows for the music,but we're a sadly small minority. Interesting point. At the last
loopfest in Rome there were more than 50 persons paying for the show.
When I saw Eivind Aarset, about a
month ago, there were less than 40 persons in the audience...
So can you say the
loopfestival was a succesfull events compared to the Aarset gig ?
Yes (in my opinion :-) but that's
really different from the "music business" Eno is talking about, I
think...
And I also think it's true what he
says about the increasing number of music Festivals araising in the world
nowdays (..i'm not referring to the loopfestivals now....)
