dear aLEKs
i don't feel that this is a hard line at all. i don't disrespect anything
creative at all, all i was trying to say is that i don't think terms like
"artist" and "serious" are valid and important (or relevant terms).
also my point concerning the question of graham yesterday...

my point is more, that each of us has a personnel view and reflection
about what is "art" and what is "serious" and i'd rather not label things
like that... this is going more or less into the same direction as labeling
music itself, which i also think is useless as it doesn't describe the
music. just listen to it, whatever name it carries... just use whatever
program you think is right for you (no matter who else does or does not
use it...).

work on whatever makes you happy or what you feel the need to and not what
anybody else likes or is doing and then you are a "serious artist". this is
why i don't think it's relevant to talk about labels and names and that's
also why i think it's completely unimportant what programm you use for music
or whatever.

do i design with freehand or illustrator or corel draw? does it matter? do
you like my sound better because i use supercollider or use a 4-track tape
deck recorder? these are all things that are not important in my opinion,
because only the result is important. of course the process is part of the
game and their are valid reasons for this, but it should never overshadow
the result. i don't like autechre more because i know how to work, i really
don't give a s***t at all how they work. either it touches me emotionally or
it doesn't... very easy!

and again, i never disrespected graham for his question and i never stated
that i disprespect anything "creative", "art", "serious" or whatever...  i
would feel very sorry if that's how you understand my comments...

thank you,
ralph.
