to enlighten you, to convey to you...

I am at a point where I can now be concise about the experience of performing electronic music. This involves the concept of 'brainspace between human and machine'.

You push a button, the machine does something, you do something (push another button)in response to that, and a feedback loop occurs. When done well there is a condition that occurs *in a slice of between time* that you begin to share with the audience. That condition is a reaction that is akin to confusion but also a kind of excitement: an anticipation of surprise: "what is it? what is it?".
