Good stuff here. I believe it was our beloved French synthesist Jean Michel
Jarre who said something to the effect that electronic music only means it's
being produced electronically, the sound that travels through the air is not
electronic itself. Who cares what you use. It is how you use it. Driving
a computer to the limits is a cool idea to explore, just like using a 303 to
NOT sound like a bass-guitar.
Just so'm to spice it up
