Re: [microsound] good flavor means good taste!

I'm not questioning the fact that the technical/craft part ( like the
building/modification of instruments ) is an integral part of the creative
process, I was merely suggesting that there is a hiearachy between the
artistic concept and the means to achieve it.

I emphasized that because I think it's very common in musicians today to get
overly worked up over the tech aspects and almost forget about their
artistic intentions.
