careful how you say things...
this implies that electronic music is _not_ guided by the mind & soul.
which is untrue! machines do not program themselves, there is a mind
behind the music :)
i know what you meant, a sequencer only has so many points at which
you can enter a note... but the artists using the sequencer can have
much more mind & soul guiding them than say a rock guitarist who has
memorized some notes. perhaps sequencing is just a really good form
of memorization that doesn't depend on the human mind, or something ;)

well sure, that's because the gear doesn't really matter at all
if the person using it isn't creative; of course this has already
been said many times. but i guess there are some who are always looking
for the new gear, spending more time drooling over the gear ads than
using the gear they already have.
and Anthony, you can attest to this for me, as you've heard what i've
made w/ my extremely limited gear.. :)
