First and foremost, I must apologise for my language in my previous post. It's all too easy sometimes to forget when online that I am responding to a large group of people and not just thinking out loud. somrux wrote:

It occurs to me all the time. However, not when it's the people who talk about how they could do the exact same thing as RDJ or Autechre or whomever with the same equipment (see the original post Aaron D. Meyers was replying to)- because they look only at the technical aspect of making music, not the soul, not doing it for the love of making music. As though technical skill is all it takes (which it is not- look at Steve Vai or Joe Satriani. Technically brilliant, musically vapid.)

None, and I don't claim to be able to do anything like the aforementioned artists. I'm an elitist in other ways having nothing to do with making music or the discussions on this list (of course, there are probably now a few list members who would disagree with me after my post). -- forel elitist fuck --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
