[idm] sequencing is lame

I was just thinking about what makes all of the music I really love great, and it is because the rythym is supplied by a human being, and not a clock. Sequencing and quantization is terrible, lame, sucks, and sounds awful... When will we break free from the limits of sequenced music and how will it be done? is there any software out there that allows for composition without a sequencer? When will electronic music have the powerful rythyms that are found for example in primitive tribal ritualistic drumming???? I am a hipocrite because I use sequencing all the time, but I try like the rest (unsuccessfully) to make it more natural by introducing errors (humainization) but it just isn't the same as natural rythym ideosyncracies because nature isn't random, but chaotic in an emotionally relevant way... computers can only be semi-random and have no emotion at all..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
