Yep. I've been writing electronic music for about a year and a half. My
music is probably is fairly derivative. This is by no means intentional, and
hopefully, it won't be the case forever. Derivative music isn't just the
product of intentional immitation, it's a byproduct of trying to find one's
own sound. As you were saying, ease of software use/availability has
contributed almost exclusively to my being able to write. I'm not sure
that's a bad thing. I suspect that the long-term, overall result of this
will be at least a bit more good music available (albeit, immersed in more
bad music). If you're willing to pick through a real wack of bad stuff, the
result of software proliferation should be positive.

I don't work with any hardware, and I don't expect to start any time soon
(aside of maybe a midi keyboard). I'd imagine this is the norm with
new/amateurish electronic musicians such as myself. It'll be interesting to
see what the long term effect of this is on this kinda music.
Shameless plug: The aforementioned derivative/amateurish music is available
for download at www.mp3.com/cogito.
