30

Always surprises me the difference in energy level between electronic music and those who perform it. This video is the first time I’ve seen VS perform. I’ve listened to a lot of his stuff on Spotify however. I just had this mental image of a frantic, mad scientist, high energy musician performing. So to see a chill dude is always confusing to my brain at first.

Kinda the same with electronic music in the 90s. I had lots of CDs but rarely ever saw the person or duo performing the music, so I assumed that it was like a huge party when they were making music. So to see them in a video kinda chill and turning knobs here and there just feels weird to me. I guess I expected them all to be high energy with lots of people performing, like Lords of Acid.

Not dissing any of them - they are incredibly talented - it’s just odd visually for my brain given what the music sounds like. I guess an analogy would be punk or heavy metal: high energy music but the musicians’ energy level is often the same as the music.
