After the weekend in London for the Richie/Ricardo spectacle I have a question:
What exactly does "live" mean?
Can the word "live" be replaced by "Playing their own music"?
I ask because during the course of the show there were moments when Richie would
put on a record, grab a loop from the record and let that play while Ricardo
programmed live beats or just plain strange bloobly noises and then Richie would
go to work doing things with effects and the foot controller or even just
noodling about with Abelton LIVE...
For large stretches of time not a record was playing. Is that any more or less
live than somebody playing a "live" set from Abelton?
It's really unfortunate that Fabric sequesters the DJs because to watch them
performing would be a lot of fun for the crowd I think.
