Hey, works for me, given that that includes DJs, spoon-players, saw-strokers, Stockhausen and Francisco Lopez. But I'm guessing that you didn't intend to include those sorts in your definition, so you might want to rework it to fit your narrower terms. A few subdefinitions you'll need to clarify: "manipulate," "raw musical tones" (each of those could be unpacked), "real-time," "original," and "instrument." Heck, you should probably spell out "expertise" and "performer" while you're at it. But I think your prepositions are sound, and unlike Clinton, we all know what the definition of "is" is. Take heart, you've almost got it!
