the only gear "at fault" is the human mind. i would wager that both aril brikha and photek are making exactly what they want to make. they could at any time choose any setup they like.
instead of just making music, theyre worried about non-music nonsense. which is why they changed their setup and now make trash. if they like it, good for them. theyre just making themselves (and people who make excuses for it) look ridiculous.
just because photek has "moved on" from what you liked about his earlier work doesn't mean the computer is at fault. even in the largely hardware based days of the 90's, LOTS of people were striving for the same sound regardless of the gear...actually i'd say it's almost the opposite. people wanted the 303 JUST FOR that sameness...just for that particular sound.
exactly! but because that sound was made as easy as purchasing a 303, all that shows through in the end is the creativity of the person using it. that is the ideal situation. give everyone the same crap, see who can make it do the best stuff. that is the creative person, the person with talent. everyone uses a 909, no one uses a 909 like jeff mills. thats why he's one of the techno gods and most others arent. the idea is that sound is irrelevent. use the simple things that allow creativity and do things differently with them. tom
