Re: computer music
wow.
very astute pernt ya got there -
there's an important semantic aspect always
in conversations such as these. and that's
one that oughta have occurred to me
sooner.
(just like a solderhead friend o mine
rants - "NO! a record mixer/producer
is NOT an 'engineer' - that guy has
never designed a circuit IN HIS FUCKIN LIFE!!!")
& you saved me a thrill denied, next
time i hear somebody say "oh, we're
getting a dj for our wedding" i won't
be looking forward to having
my genes recombin-ated!
good on ya
