| Theres a techno guy in sydney who does live vocoder and synth over tracks. I never realised before I saw him that you can keep it dairly informal and unrehearsed and just screw around. It doesn't have to be fully live... |

I'm working on incorporating a guitar in my sets, playing some improvisations over the tracks... today you can make it happen, if you know how to play and you want to do it, you can, and it cost pretty much nothing compared to 5 years ago...
the tougher part IMO is actually playing a part from your own track, exciting as it sounds i think that seeing just one person playing on an instrument is quite boring actually, and you would have to lose other stuff from your show, like you would need a pre-programmed set or if you'll make it on the spot you wouldn't have that much time to mix in and out cos you'll need to play.. if you have a third arm than you'll do fine :)
anyway Ive been working on it for quite some time, if you want to hear what it sounds like you are welcomed to download any of my sets published on my sites (facebook - notes/myspace - blog)... |
Listening to your tracks, man, they sound pretty good... Going to add you on the sites. |

| playing live is mostly about trigering parts and adjusting parametres instead of automation really, not actually playing them. i cant do it with my songs so far but i hope ill be able to in a year or two. |

| someone might be able to but thats not very common when it comes to edm. they usualy have the midi in ready in ableton (or something else good at looping) and just trigger it whenever they want, the rest is just turning knobs. which is what is fun anyway. |

Mic Doney. He often plays his own productions off ableton while using a keyboard and vocoder to add bits and pieces. Not really sure how much of the stuff in ableton is being mixed on the fly, but it sounds really good.
I saw him do a back to back CDJ set where he was messing around on the keyboard all the time, it went down really well. |
