the physical experience of playing an instrument was too important to lose. -There's something to that, isn't there. Though I must admit the world of algorithmic composition is completely foreign to me, I can see it's attraction. Limitless potential. But to me there is something to be said for the feel of the neck of a guitar in my hand or the weight of a pianos keys beneath my fingers. But these things are nostalgic because I've used them many times for years. If I were to use computer instrumentation perhaps I'd generate a nostalgia for something new. Who knows?
