I'd be curious to know how opinions evolved in four years... it seems like laptops are everywhere now - including outside "pure" electronic music, so how's everyone feeling about them?
I must say my opinion has quite evolved about it - though I did not listen to any electronic music in 2006, and now it represents most of what I listen to -; I used to think live laptop was necessarily boring, while now I see no real problem with it. I still prefer laptop + other instruments, but I've got no problems with laptop alone. I'd even go as far as calling it a musical instrument. I mean, isn't an "instrument" basically a mean to do something; therefore a musical instrument being a mean to play music. I think there is kind of a myth around instruments which leads people to think laptop can't be an instrument since anyone can play it, as it requires no specific skill. I don't know.
Anyway yeah... curious to hear what y'all think
