hello all,
you know in this day and age, i think actually using a modular synthesiser
to 'synthesise' says more about the journey than the actual result - i mean,
why attempt to synthesise a violin, when you can just get a sample of one,
why wander into the hills with a canvas & watercolours when you can just
take a photo, in fact why bother to get off your arse when you can buy the
guide book from amazon..?
there's definately great joy in synthesis with a gigantic lump of wood,
metal & electronics - compared to the arbitary creation of noise with a
small plastic thing with a usb logo on it
yes iknow - preaching to the converted...
