Possibly of interest to readers here thinking back to some
observations Paul and others made about live performances in the U.S.
vs Europe. No idea if Linux is in use or not and truly it doesn't
really matter for the sake of this story. It's getting harder and
harder to be an old-school instrument player. I've seen reports of
Kurtzweil being used in Chicago and here in San Jose we had short run
of Wicked where it was apparently 100% GigaStudio.

Hey,
Very engaging read, I must say! A tad harsh perhaps to call a synth "inert"
and "artificial". But on the other hand, if you have to watch five musicians
leave to be replaced by a synth, then I guess the words are entirely
justified.
Any links to the discussion on U.S vs European live performances? I'd be
quite interested to read it!
Andrew.

Just the next step that began with disco and led to karaoke. Disco
succeeded in clubs because 1 DJ is cheaper than 5 band members. And
disco is the McDonald's a music - one Donna Summers track gives you the
same "quality" wherever it's played.
Eventually, streaming-radio DJs will all speak with British Indian /
Thai / Vietnamese / etc accents because you can physically have your
radio DJ anywhere. No reason you need to keep it in your old expensive
home nation when someone in a cheap "up-and-comer" country can do it
instead.
I hate disco. Disco causes warts.
