Absolutely, although due to the usual constraints of actually having
instrumentalists play the music I have been lately doing the reverse:
Create music by electronic means whose events and criteria are completely
based in the (mostly microscopic) acoustic phenomena generated by regular
classical orchestra instruments.  To achieve that I recorded and/or analyzed
the sound of acoustic instruments and phrases done with them.  It certainly
doesn't sound like Grisey or Murail (for one, they don't use
electronic/processed sound that often), but then I don't have the backing of
a professional ensemble or orchestra to render the works.
