man, hopefully you are kidding or else you must be both rich and also the musical gadget industry's best customer! The sound created by organic means is infinitely more complex and beautiful than the sound generated by DSP processes.... I would consider the sound of a waterfall for instance or the ocean or insects at night (and not on CD) to be greater than the entire output of all IDM artists put together.... probably greater than all sounds made by humanity itself throughout our entire history.... In the same way as a real sunset is more beautiful than any work of art or photography by humans... Of course this is my bias... maybe some of you think a dog turd on the sidewalk is the most beautiful thing... it is still nature.... in essence, DSP processes are at their root natural, because math and the physics of sound on which the algorithims are based originate in nature, but they are like the genetic engineering of sound... they are like the human reductionistic tendency taken to the extreme and applied to the nature of sound... I am sure that whatever music you create using Kyma or whatever will have melody in it, right? or rythym???? if it doesn't have melody, rythym, tones, etc.... is it music? is noise music? is silence music? is my fart music? anyway... peace out.... I need to get back to work writing code..... Andrew Schrock wrote:
