Let us know when Una’s site is virus-free. Right now (Mon July 14) still detect viruses when opening his site.

Hey Peter I would agree too. Maybe it was the more formal “concert” setting. It sort of reminded me when I used to do tape “performances” back in the 70s. Beside, he has a lot of cool stuff happening with all the toys, just makes you want to see them more.

Hey Peter,

Looks like Michael’s site (http://una-love.com) was blocked because of a virus threat on the .htm page?

My AVG caught it if you see this pic:

Might wanna warn visitors?

Well, I always have felt that different musicians have different kinds of presence … really regardless of the technology. Some people are about direct interaction, some are all about making the party happen and getting people dancing, some are more about blissing out or gazing at your shoelaces or getting in a trance state, etc. So I agree, but I think it’s also about the artist as much as any paradigm or tech issue … and it can be really tough to tell in a video.

Very cool. One thing I noticed though is that Michael seems one step removed from interacting or “performing” with the audience. The focus seems to be in the equipment and not on the performer/audience relationship. Dunno what can be done about this - I guess we just need to start working on a new performance paradigm that allows this relationship to happen while still enabling the live looping/recording. Just an observation.

re: Michaels site - our corporate fire wall sez “A virus (HTML.IFrame-10) was found in the downloaded file.”

Yes, that’s correct, Friday, July 18. The first mention got a wrong number in there.
