i have wondered recently about the fears of technology. ever since the beginning of the use of fire, people have sought to simplify their lives by combining and simplifying processes. computers are only the most recent example of this process. music that was once only with the physical manipulation of air is now possible with the tweaking of knobs and buttons. entire symphonies can now be written on computer and less and less organic, "real" music is being made today. is this a problem... i think that technological advances lead people into a realm of unknown territory, where the rules are altered. ultimately those who acclimate themselves to these rules are those who succeed. in this issue of technology and music, i think it is necessary to agree that there is no loss here. no one person is prevented from expressing themselves in musical terms with this advent of new technology. now one is prevented or chastized for using established methods. in fact "old school" recording methods are probably considered chic by most on this list. the only thing that is happening is that more and more people are able to create with this new technology. many may ask how is this good? i ask how can it be bad. -sam
