I wonder if this might be where the future of electronic instrument design lies, ie. building instruments (electroniums!) with a singular purpose. And how a gang of different electroniums might be arranged to arrive at a composition.
     This might explain the long tradition of composers who build their own instruments, in order to realise their musical vision. As our brains continue to evolve, we might become more fluent in an ability to sort of 'reverse engineer' instruments with relative ease, from the musical vision. I think Raymond Scott had the idea that one day the composer's mind would be so advanced, he or she could project the composition to the audience with the mind only, ie. using no instruments at all!
