<< I have to think about you message, there's a lot of information to spent a 
few hours with. I'm not opposed of artificial ways to produce music ( that,s 
why I use Logic). But my fear goes to the way of eliminating the human 
process of expression. And how can you for instance immitate a singer or a 
violinist. Besides this Stockhausen is working with metromome-beats like 
56.25; what purpose does this serve? More will come. >>

I would not try to "immitate" a singer or a violinst... except as pure 
experiment in order to learn something about the instrument and the way it's 
played... I may be interest in manipulate the singer's or violinist sound and 
probably mix the result with the original music played by the performer... 
trying to achieve a result making it impossible to distinguish what is 
reality and what is virtuality.

I understand your preocuppation about expression, which I find totally 
legitimate. Concerning Stockhausen, he's a child of his time... with a strong 
obsession concerning number related structures... a more mystical approch to 
music than a rational one... as it was argued in this time.
