What produces people making the same kind of music and/or visuals happens long before someone starts reading a tutorial on pd. Speaking of clones- the idea that one could reject "learning to play guitar playing beatles songs" as a general, undesirable act of conformity is nonsense. Learning music has a variety of meanings and functions depending on the culture, or even circumstances, like someone retraining their motor and memory skills after an accident. The question is how have you, like so many, overlooked the entire field of ethnomusicology and made a statement that apparently reduces music to a simplistic division between the mindless and the profound? Maybe you read a high modernist tutorial somewhere? -Jonathan _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
