</div>I am not so sure about that. If you have a following, your fans may still want<br>
to come to a show where all you do is play your music for them from a CD or<br>
whatever and talk about it with them. Think about an independent filmmaker<br>
screening their new film. They may very well value your time and interaction<br>
with them enough to pay for a concert.<br></blockquote><div><br>case in point: steve roach, an ambient electronic musician (of prolific output) is someone who i will generally no longer go and see live, because his pieces are impossible to perform live. he ends up mostly just running a mixing desk and adding a layer from time time. even in context of st. mary's church in philadelphia, where you can lie on the floor and zone out, its really just not worth my time - i get a better experience listening to mr roach at home (in bed, or in the studio/office - ardour owes a lot to him). <br>
<br>however, on one occasion he did a show here in philadelphia at st. mary's where there was a Q&A session, and i absolutely went to it. it was great. i even put the "its not worth me seeing you live" perspective to him, and he was very understanding :)<br>
