There's a lot of music that sounds like it's literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Digital music boils down the actual musical experience.
Today, computers help us making the music. It's really a tool.
Music has generally involved a lot of awkward contraptions, a certain amount of heavy lifting.
The thing is, there are so many different ways to make music these days with virtual instruments, software applications, physical instruments, and computer programs.
Whatever my recorded output is, it's a reflection of a general love of music.
Computers were never designed in the first place to become musical instruments. Within a computer, everything is sterile - there's no sound, there's no air. It's totally code. Like with computer-generated effects in movies, you can create wonders. But it's really hard to create emotion.
I come from a background of experimental music which mingled real sounds together with musical sounds.
It does just boil down to music.
When I first started making ambient music, I was setting up systems using synthesizers that generated pulses more or less randomly. The end result is a kind of music that continuously changes. Of course, until computers came along, all I could actually present of that work was a piece of its output.
Music is extremely intuitive, which acting too in a different way.
