who has this need? is it you, the artist? is it someone[s] else? is it both?

i don't think the need to make music has much to do with money at all.
i think being alive has something to do with money, but not music
particularly. if you have no money, you can still make music.

so i think of it more that the amazing enabling technology for
computer music is readily available [in some cases freely] and it has
inspired a lot of people. it has also shown a way for people to relate
to each other outside of the capitalist model [open source].
