I think that nobody programing in puredata (or csound or any other "think before" environment) could say something against that. I was only reffering to a personal need, because it is me who wants to have a physical composing/performing complement. I also believe that live coding certainly does require a lot of mental work as it is very close to live composing, and just willing to do it is enough demonstration of passion for me. May be what I didn´t say but I should have, in order to make my point, was that I believe that a musician should be (or at least is allowed to be) absolutly selfish, meaning that he should not care (if he doesn´t want to) about what others say he should do or behave like in a live situation. Let´s say, he shouldn´t care about others saying that "he misses rock&roll" because he wants to be physical in performing, he shouldn´t care about others saying "he is taking a stand up nap to a playlist", and so on. Musicians can (and sometimes do) choose even not to perform live, or even not to perform and only make studio editing art. If making what the public wants is the goal we might end in an eschizofrenic road (and no one in public will pay for your shrink). If he does I take it as a happy coincidence. If he does not I only hope the musician finds his proper public in order for him to be able to go on and feel happy sharing. I agree. Maybe it was not understood, but that was my point too. The only laws that fits what I think about it are "Art is what artists do" and "an artist is someone who feels that he is an artist" [email protected] escribió: i really don't remember who brought that thingI´d rather say that anyone should be free to take the limitations they want to impose to themselves for a creative environment. My mail wasn´t a personal answer to you, but forgive me if somehow I made you think that. Yes, maybe I wrote too much and I should take care of that. thankyou for reading and answering :) . saludos, Best, Fernando _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Let´s make sounds!
