um, Fennsez... Dean Roberts... Zammuto... Lithops...

come you guys, fucknut? philip I do respect your opninons, but fucknut? I
mean thats pretty funny but...

Why is everyone looking for rules? The wonderfully thing about experimental
electronic music is simply that its experimental, you know, no rules.

maybe this qoute published in a recent art book will lighten us up...

Usually when you do something, you want to achive something you attach to
some result. From achievement to non-achievement means to be rid of the
unecessary and bad results of effort. If you do something in the sprit of
non-achievement, there is good quality in it. So just to do something
without any particular effort is enough.
-Shunryu Suzuki

man that quote could really fuck captialism up, if everyone took it to
heart.

ps- I dont think there is a problem with using borrowed max/msp patches,
thats almost like saying it would be wrong to use a drum machine someone
else made. msp takes a long ass time to learn, and one good way to learn it
is by experimenting with and using whats already been done. no need to
repeate what someone else has already made. you could spend a year just
trying to learn what the lloopp player has to offer, not to mention all the
pluggo vst plug-ins. shits thick.
