When I recorded Contra la Puerta, I never really thought out doing the material live. Mostly because I haven't really seen any electronic music performed live in an interesting way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But Contra la Puerta was done mostly in the opposite way, starting with sounds and melodies.
If I think about the way I was drawn into the music, it was much more by recordings than by live performances.
It's easy listening to a record, but a live performance is so personal and real.
The studio work is the nasty, tedious, hard and nerve-wracking part, interrupted by moments of exhilaration. Playing live is the chance to actually have some fun and get on a stage.
The music is fun. The big difference performing it live is that we might get a little more heated, not as subdued, we'll stretch things out more. It's how you stay fresh after such a long time in the business.
I have started to record some demos so hopefully in the near future I can play live.
With instrumental music, it is traditionally hard to get exposure.
It's been too many years since I've played live as myself as opposed to in a fake band for a film.
I think I was first to do live performances on a modern electronic sound synthesizer.
One of the things I love about music is live performance.
