RE: Keeping your sets interesting

Hmm. Maybe you just lack confidence. Have you seen Robert Fripp or Tangerine Dream or any number of fine artists who people queue up to watch/listen to that just simply do what it is they do? 

Maybe you're just an understated kind of performer - We can't all be exhibitionists.. 

Have you had any feedback from audiences on the subject?

it is about the music. But music is _expression_ and often feel like i lack that in performance.

Thousands of people every week dance to DJ's. They're more interested in the sound than the spectacle of someone on stage and frankly, so am I. 

If someone is wringing a passionate performance out of their instrument, that can be cool. I was lucky enough to see a wonderful performance from a sitar player in the back room of a clothes shop in Glastonbury last year. The guy spent about 5 minutes tuning his instrument then we all drifted into the most wonderful reverie. At the end he just smiled..

No showbiz razzmatazz just a shared musical journey. Equally I've thoroughly enjoyed DJ sets that just worked in that moment..

It's about the music isn't it? however it is presented..
