If i hear another guitar, bass, drum set i am going to puke... this music
has been played to death!! it has ALL been done, every combination of every
string imaginable has been done. A real instrument! Synths are real
instruments. computers are real instruments. so is a water bottle.
insights from nature of music, no thanks, ill take my insight from
technology and the inspiration of what wonderful sounds we have all NOT
heard yet. which I guarantee you is not going to come from a "real"
instrument such as a guitar, bass, drums, horn or whatever "acoustic" or non
electronic instrument.
I can see oscillator or bits. actually i create them. so can you. :)
Instead of the string vibrating, i see things on an oscillator. much more
appealing to a person into IDM music.

<<Also, learn to play a real instrument!!! aside from the miraculous
insights you will gain into the nature of music, fans like to see where
the sound is coming from, and you can't see oscillators or bits... you
can see strings vibrating, some one blowing into a flute... fingers
moving, etc>>
