The "Studio" you vs. "Performance" you..................
Is there a difference in the music preference?
Different whole genre or style?
Same and consistent?
Interested in others fo sho'

Performance:
The old days it was dirtyasslookingforafixandakissrockandroll
Past several years it has been solo guitar ambient looping or eviljazz in an ensemble (70s era Davis-like murky voodoo)
Recording:
I'm up for just about any genre (even ones I rarely listen to)
Rarely consistent
Performance: I mostly play solo piano. I sometimes sing piano/vocal arrangements I hand notate so I can fit the songs into my range. I play a HUGE variety of genres, Classical to Country, 30s-modern day, Rock, Pop, etc.
Recording: Electronic music. This could range from experimental stuff, ambient, what the kids call EDM (although definitely NOT Future Bores), and recently, trying to fuse some really huge orchestral stuff into the things I create (hence that one thread about Gadget given that Gadget is a stable environment that doesn't seem to suffer that strange buffer issue).
Interesting dichotomy.
Similar degree of separation for me I guess I would say.
Same equipment, same instruments, same software, same repertoire, same style.
Studio allows for a lot more polish, and therefore to present a glossier product to the world, but performance allows you to live in the moment in a cool way. I haven't actually performed in front of an audience for about 22 years, but when I did use to do it I remember having some pretty special, almost transcendental, moments. Nowadays I just get to perform by myself, but it still has that "in the moment" quality to it, and no two performances are ever the same.
Sloppy rock and roll live
Sloppy rock and roll in the studio
This....plus I often find if I try and make something a la studio that I have done in performance mode it tends to go flat.
Performance: straight-ahead Jazz
Studio - Pop
I have only one single performance mode that takes it's time to get into the groove.
Beginning is always shit, but it may develope... no difference between live and studio.
Then I frequently rearrange sections from recordings into totally different stuff.
I'm a confessing humble performer, but can handle the latter at quite some degree.
I also get out and about playing jazz, but tend to not even consider it under 'performing'. More like .. chords for cash..
I'd be surprised if anybody wanted to hear my music if they've heard it before. There's not much difference between studio and performance other than one's been recorded and the other hasn't. I'll occasionally post things publicly and do zero promotion as I don't really feel it'd be appropriate to urge people to listen to something that I enjoy doing yet really don't feel is polished or a product worth promoting. Perhaps navel gaze, rec button itch, or a variation of musical mirror solitaire would be the genre? There isn't much consistency beyond lack of polish and pursuing what interests me within the context of my ability which is a very low bar. If people do like my stuff, I can only speculate there must be some niche, post modern deconstructive fantasy narrative, or fetish component to my music that I'm totally unaware of.
