Re: [microsound] Lemur!

that said, writing a symphony, building a violin, and playing a violin
are three totally different aspects of making music... the same applies
to electronic music.

many of the great composers were not masters of any specific instrument,
many of the great instrument builders were not great composers or
players, and many of the great players could never write anything or
build anything... there are exceptions, of course, but getting back to
the point: playing an instrument, a physical instrument, a 'real'
instrument, an acoustic instrument, whatever, is totally different from
programming a DSP patch...

duh?
