I for one don't especially like this increasingly automated approach
to making music. Ableton Live used to be a very neat tool for doing
certain specific things, but it has swollen into this beast that
practically makes the music on its own.
And personally I am growing weary of so much computer-aided music
sounding the same. I don't know how much of this can be blamed on the
software or not.
I suppose the real works of art will end up outshining the others as
time passes. In some ways it's probably no good to blame the tools,
but the humans who use them.
There is a really neat blurb in this month's Wired (Steve Carrell on
the front) about Curtis Roads and microsound. He makes an applicable
comment on how "ravers" (which I take to mean not just literally
people who go to raves, but the generation of music makers inspired by
that tradition when making music) definitely make some beautiful
sounds, but there is not much depth or narrative in what they're doing.
In other words, the art isn't as rich, even if the paint job is stellar.

in that lengthy robert henke video i posted a little while ago he
says nothing will happen until max 5 is out and then he eluded to the
pluggo product line, implying that there might some kind of function
that allows users to build there own plug-ins within live... but he
was pretty tight-lipped about the whole venture. someone asked him
about jitter and video in live and he just smiled and didn't respond,
saying 'he already said too much.' to be honest, they themselves
probably don't even know for sure what's going to happen...

Yeah, absolutely. Anyone on the list picked up on any rumours on what
could
be the outcome of the partnership between Cycling 74 and Ableton?
