hello! i wanted to make a thread for people to post pictures, links, stories, etc. and otherwise have a place for general discussion focused on the performance aesthetic/musical output of artists who use a big plastic folding table when they play! or similar - i’d say artists who play on the floor count here too!
oddly specific perhaps, but i feel a kinship with this style personally and am fascinated by it.
a few random thoughts: i wonder if having your gear laid out in a total organized chaos which has to be painstakingly assembled before each gig and then disassembled right after lends itself to a certain type of workflow which in turn lends itself to a certain type of sound? most of the artists that i enjoy which come to mind are working in a semi-improvisational framework that’s often sonically rough around the edges - anywhere from heavily processed acoustic instruments to full-blown electronic noise.
i also wonder if the advent of, for example, more readily available ergonomic tools like pedalboards and powered pre-fab modular cases (and the associated communites which have accumulated around those tools online have led to a sort of… homogenization of the way people are thinking about these types of workflows, especially as it pertains to a live performance environment? it seems like the early 00s was really the peak tabletronics era and i think there’s a connection there.
also wondering if there are any lines members who would care to share their own music/performances if it applies to this overall aesthetic? i’m interested to see who out there is carrying the torch of this (sort of) bygone era!
