does anyone do this?

[tiddles]

with all the software and techie tricks i was wondering if there is a dj/live act that does a completely improvised live set?
a step beyond that real-time remixing stuff...just going to a gig with a pile of samples and sounds and turning it into a set.

you'd have to be alot more musical than the average superstar DJ to pull it off, but i think it'd be pretty cool.

I was thinking about this some time ago... Does anybody really do it? It would be sort of top thing you can do as a dj... Imagin this with a similar artistic act on visuals - combined from samples only to suit the current ambience of the place.

theres that cutchemist/DJ Shadow/plus one (I cant recall) trio that does soemthign similar with samples and scratching.
dunno if that really counts though.

I'm not sure, but I think Pure Science mostly bases his live shows on working with small fragments. At least he used to. He was one of the very first laptop performers, long before Ableton.

this is exactly what i have been talking about. i want sasha to do something like this with the high and mighty trend of abelton. would be cool to hear some reprises and main hooks in different form.

Not a fan of hers. It's the challenge that makes the smell much sweeter!

I honestly thought that's what the Ableton fuss was all about at first. I mean, isn't it called Ableton LIVE?? Like pickle was saying, I've always pictured that to be what Hawtin and his kind did. Just started with a beat and rolled. Either way, it would be cool.

Isn't that what Sasha does with his Maven?

Haha...I was thinking the same thing. I do it so often that my friends think I have a cocaine addiction because i always have the clitty litter on my nose.

But I agree that it would be sick to see Sasha do some crazy ass live synth. shit.
