You also used that word when posting an unrelated url on LinkedIn today.<br>

Well, for producing the sound that you are producing, you don't need the<br>
equipment that you are using. For example you could pre-record it all by<br>
playing on a totally different-looking device. How many people would<br>
notice??<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Mathieu, the comparison here is not useful. That's why I did not mention my work.</div><div>We are talking about very different studies.</div><div><br></div><div>But since you mentioned it, my equipment is:</div>
<div>1_ composed of one mic, one circuit and a common soundcard. Not the same amount of devices used in the TED video.</div><div>2_ the sound produced is quite idiosyncratic and the only sound source is coming from a sound matter specific to my body.</div>
<div>you can probably synthesised similar sounds, but with the system you can produce a sound in few seconds, you don't need synthesis.</div><div>3_ I couldn't even play the pre-recorded sounds of the same gestures, 'cause gestures are different every time I perform.</div>
<div>And therefore people will really notice.</div><div>That's in the design.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm not saying it's better, maybe it's a silly approach, but it's surely different.</div><div> </div>

Does he really need to stick to only the stated goal?? It's not an<br>
academic presentation for the sole goal of proving a point about the<br>
discourse of art.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Do you usually write statements that you don't want to stick to?</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

Right. When every performance is potentially centred on a new, never-seen<br>
instrument, who in the audience is actually competent to figure out which<br>
elements are live and which ones are not??<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>How can I know?</div><div>that's why we are discussing here.</div><div>And this point seem to being raised from other people on the list.</div>
