	Performing live is inherently flawed. Setting aside the big shows where the performers may have some control of the environment, many of us walk into a multi-purpose space, set-up our gear, and hope for the best. We compete with less-than-optimal acoustics, strange sight lines, the roar of coffee grinders, people trying to order, the clatter of dishes, competing demands to turn it up and turn it down, put on a great show in the least amount of floor space with the ideal combination of minimal impact and optimum results.

	I got to thinking (again) about how we experience sound. I wonder how little drivers in headphones can feel like gigantic speakers pushing air. How can we create a sonic image that suggests a much larger ~~than~~ space than is physically there? Why do I hear stereo from a single source? Too many questions.

	Maybe we want to share the experience, warts and all, with those with whom we play, and our audiences. If we want complete control of the environment and what the audience hears we can produce our music in the studio, deliver it electronically, and require the audience to listen on premium equipment under ideal circumstances. Well the last two points are over the top, but you get the idea.		Maybe we want to share the experience, warts and all, with those with whom we play, and our audiences.

	If we accept that playing is live is something special, dynamic, in-the-moment and to a large extent, out of our control then we are at liberty to do all kinds of things. First, we are freed from the need to control what the audience hears. We do not have to produce a sound that rivals a recording, pristine, perfect, accurate - that can stand up to repeated playback. We need to honour the live experience.
