i've got to agree here. in just one week i saw pan [a] sonic, and then
the transmissions festival which included john hudak improvising bleeps on
his laptop above prepared static, and a performance by bernhard guenter
which consisted of him playing a few tracks off cd. watching a
performance really isn't the point, unless it's some theatrical
experience, and in this vein of things you're likely to end up w/ newage
inpterpretive dance in that case. i don't think i could have been more
blown away by any of these. visually, john hudak gave us a close up video
shot of his eye, and pansonic had a neat wave form moving to the music
projection [b guenter left us in complete darkness]. it was super. .ist
