there is nothing that makes any electronic music 'better' or 'worse' than
"real instrument" music. however, I can say from personal experience, that
by and large electronic music is more emotionally detached, especially when
sequencing is involved, and _especially_ when formulae or generative
processes are involved
on the same token, it bothers me that so many millions get spent on trying
to trick people into thinking all the pop rubbish is 'real' when its had
just as much dsp as your average idm release.
to avoid flame wars and really clarify my point : there is a certain
extremely natural, familiar feeling involved when it sit down and play the
piano, that i never seem to find, even when i'm 'playing' a synth rather
than sequencing.
