Agreed, Per, though I would clarify even more (for me) that it is about being aware of the music, but also who or what is generating the music and taking responsibility for this. If I play one note and my gear generates an entire 5 minute song by randominzing that note, sequencing,, etc...that's hardly a case of me being aware of my own music. That's letting the gear to the work for me. That's not even musicianship in my book. My 10 month old kids can do this. So simply being aware of the music and letting it flow through me is not a complete criteria as I see it....but I know what you are getting at here and agree with your concept. Again, there are varying degrees of what we are talking about here, and all exceptions noted. Kris > Interesting topic, Kris!
