I believe one of the most important things that the "microsound" world
brings to production is a total lack of a paradigm.  I'm proud of, as far as
I can see, this community being relatively immune to the cliquey-ness so
pervasive in other "scenes" of music (to which some of you may scoff... :).
It's always appeared to me that part of the process of composition has been
to examine how systems (in a physical and logical sense) are SUPPOSED to
work, and then use them in sometimes "improper" ways to achieve incredible
results.  Sometimes this entails using (what others may deem as) antiquated
technology/methodology in a wholey new and refreshing way...

In other words:  I got yo' back Gregory :).

The real problem you've got probably lies with being a MIDI person in a
dominant
paradigm which is non-MIDI based and appears to go for a "sola laptoppa"
kind of
orthodoxy. I'll bet you could fool a blindfold test, but to what end? :-)
