Underworld... live?

[jetpig]

the tape things are simply labels they swap out on the deck that tells them which channel has what loop from a song, so the prep there was only in so much as they need to know what the knob they are touching is connected to. That might simply be kick drum, rez appregio, cowgirl's vocal loop, etc. how and when they got brought in was completely on the fly. It wasn't so improvised as an avant garde jazz performance, per se, but at one point they would only agree upon an opening song before going on, and then have the pieces of whatever tracks they had loaded up on the computer at any given moment to work with. Without active choices and actions nothing would happen or change or develop.

As I understand, that's still heavily the way things are done, but to a very different end.
