Live PA = psy trance only?!
hi,
i was looking a the "world electronic music festival" flyer... 3 days, 5 (or so) stages, with pretty much "the major genres" of electonic music represented:
house
jungle/dnb
trance
goa/psychedelic trance
breaks/beats/hip hop
there are maybe 20-25 acts per "genre"...
and so out of ~100 acts, 6 or so are live PAs -- and they're ALL in the "psy trance" category?!
any idea why? i can see why (say) house doesn't lend itself to live stuff so much -- a lot of it is about processed samples/heavy production/etc.
for instance, i can imagine someone programing a psy trance track from scratch, live -- just start punching in beats on a drum grid, tweaking a few synth parts till they sound proper, etc.... whereas i can't see "live breaks" (sample some vinyl on an MPC, scsi it to your laptop, open up recycle, etc...)
obviously i'm exagerating, but... anyway, i find it interesting/weird/etc., especially since i'd really like to do live stuff. that's not psy trance.
"which genre for live PAs?"...
