<meta charset="utf-8">I think it is super nice that Onyx joined the list and explained himself his device. <div><br></div><div>Still in the subject of "performance authenticity " and "validation of performance"... and also about audience/performer... </div>
<div><br></div><div>Onyx, do you think that perhaps all these questions that were raised about what exactly you were doing would encourage you to perhaps make your performative "movements" and means more evident? Or do you think this is not important for your goals?</div>
<div><br></div><div>The thing is, nobody asks a violin player what he's playing (as somebody mentioned a few messages ago, sorry for the lack of proper quoting here), I believe, because these traditional instruments are already within our culture, so one knows, roughly speaking, how a violin should be played and how it might sound like. However, with gestural controllers/instruments of course it is a different matter... </div>
<div><br></div><div>When Onyx mentions playing at audience level, inside the club, I remembered of Dan Deacon and Girl Talk's performances which also often apply this idea, and it is interesting to observe how the audience is also curious to see what they're doing, so I guess it is a common behavior...</div>

What's a « technological parody » ?<br>

<br>
It's where you take something like a modern digital computer and do DSP by using an interface modeled after 30 year-old analog audio equipment.<br>
