For years, musician and performer David Moss   
  
has been facing mounting requests to adapt some of his work   
  
for the Web. His answers are simple and direct.   
  
Instead of putting his music on the Internet for anyone to   
  
hear, Moss began performing concerts for audiences of one,   
  
two or three. He sets up in two adjoining rooms or in an   
  
apartment, offers guests a beautiful and comfy sofa to sit on   
  
and begins a 20-minute show.  
  
"It's a living room connection between people and yet it's   
  
completely weird and abstract and something they would   
  
never hear on the radio normally," said Moss, an American   
  
who has lived in Berlin for six years. "I love the   
  
contradiction between intimacy and strangeness that comes from bringing experimental music into an intimate   
  
setting."  
  
Moss organized the NoTech Performance Workshop Fest in   
  
Berlin, where last week musicians, actors, artists,   
  
dancers, and others interested in live performance gathered   
  
to practice, perform, and talk about their role in a society   
  
increasingly dominated by technology.  
  
"Why should there be a special thing called an artist   
  
anymore? Things disappear," said Moss. "Maybe this   
  
function of a performing artist is only meant to exist from   
  
about 1800 or 1700 until now and then disappear. I don't   
  
know. I don't know the answer to these questions, I just   
  
want people to think about it."
