It would be hard to fault either Buchla or EMS for a little hyperbole!

Maybe that wait is because of the backlog of orders...... : )

Froese's statement is certainly provocative.

It's hard to imagine much of TD's music being possible without electronics.

Ha - more than slightly!

Thanks it's fixed.

There's definitely something to be said for the tightness of analog.

What's the latency going from a modern sequencer to Silent Way to a digital to audio converter and back again, though?

Good point - sample-accurate editing is available on today's devices.

Still - not quite Apples to Apples.....

I like the sound of the trailer soundtrack - but it sounds more like somebody like BT than Daft Punk, don't your think?

Thanks Oliver!

That's the best way, of course!

Nax -

I understand that you think maxi pad jokes are funny.

And I understand that you think the only reasons anyone would be interested in an iPad would be because they are a fan boy or because they are brainwashed by Apple's amazingly powerful mind control ads.

Do you have any ideas of substance you can contribute on this topic, Nax?

"Making money off other people's creative work is not the business of a musician. It's the business of a Record Label."

So true.

I don't see Nina Paley's video as saying we should get rid of copyright, though, but that we should questions the limits it can place on artists and musicians.

What people have done with the Amen Break, for example, has been amazingly creative and if the lawyers had gotten involved, we might not have whole genres of electronic music.

On the other hand, its seems reasonable that if you sample 4 bars of Rick James and then rap over it, that you gotta pay Rick James. At least until he died.
