Going live

A veteran DJ in the Indian electronic circuit talks about playing instruments on stage before his debut live set this weekend

Listen to this article :

Let's start by getting the definition of a "live show" out of the way. Ordinarily, you'd picture a band with guitars, drums, a keyboard, etc, singing their tracks on stage. Or you could imagine a singer-songwriter holding forth alone, or maybe a bunch of classical or folk artistes playing traditional music. Either way, a key criterion is that the performance isn't pre-manufactured - what you hear being created before you is what you get.

But, the definition of a "live show" enters slightly ambiguous territory when we enter the domain of electronic music. Here, every note that reaches your ears as the audience isn't being produced then and there. Some of the sounds have indeed been pre-recorded. They aren't being played live in the strictest sense of the word.
