so, basically you're arguing that music has to be complicated in order to be
"good" music. why does it matter in what process the piece of music was
created in order to be labeled "good" or "bad" music? i know a lot of very,
very simple structured and composed music which touches me far more then
whatever complicated programmed stuff...

as all of you have guessed, i very much disagree with this comment and only
can say again, that the process (also read: tools, programs, software,
whatever, etc.) is completely irrelevant.
