Yeah. Sorry, I guess I had too much coffee yesterday.
Still, it sometimes seems we're doing to ourselves
what everyone else has done to us historically:
Critisize the music (and or performance) we do based
on the equipment we use. I am a supporter of machine
based music over computer based music, but my support
stems from the pleasure I get in using my machines and
the quality of the sounds, it is a PERSONAL choice, it
does not mean I find the computer lifeless or
"cheating" as some do. You still have to make the
sequences and the music, and the finished product to
me is as valid in either platform. People critisized
Kraftwerk, Wendy Carlos and Claus Schultze for using
machines, going as far as arquing that the machines
themselves made the music and anybody could do music
with machines. Why should machine geeks now diss
computer geeks? The computer is an instrument, and if
somebody prefers a mouse over knobs and keys, so be it
(although we might personnally think them idiots).
