The Underscore Archives

yes..
i really do think technology is opening up new territory and
collaborate stuff with audio / visuals..as predicted by brian eno..!

the strange things with listening to these mp3's of Tenori-On, is to
me they could have been done by the same person..

i wonder if the technology somehow dehumanises the performer and
reduces us all to the same scope of sounds..!

just an angle on this stuff

where as from experience of learning the chello and being a
saxopohist, it really requires a whole body experience, and minor
improvements are made over great periods of time!

but the cello is able to be a sound very connected to the human spirit..
im not sure thattechnology has the same quality

but i use it myself..or should i say..combine it..!
