Well you are the fellow who asked the question:
| Wout Blommers wrote: | | I'm still wondering why most synthesizer owners want their instruments to sound like conventional musical instruments? Why not use and create 'never heard before' sounds? Why use it in conventional composing concepts (e.g. drum part, bass part, lead...)? |
I was not sure if the question was sincere or rhetorical. My response was sincere though I felt it obvious and am curious as to why that was not so for you.
BTW I tend toward a personal approach to issues (except those susceptible to the scientific method) because I believe humans are constitutionally unable to be objective and that to present ideas as having standing outside one’s personal biases elevates them to a position higher than deserved.

Which was a reaction to the thought 'new made'.

My question, based on my observation, was sincere. Maybe it's due to the fact English is not my a native speaking language, I wonder why you think it is not intended sincere?

Of course all what is written in discussions like this is mostly subjective, specially when we're talking about the future.

CM...EM
it's all pretty well established and 'conventional'
i don't even see a distinction anymore
EM has as many similiarities to CM as it does differences
the 'new' is whatever is 'now'
forget 'new'....
but always remember 'good'

Limited vision on my part? My thinking is that it's like asking why some prefer Islay Whisky over Lowland. I can't see beyond that. This is why I was asking, I was hoping you could provide a context that would let me see beyond my assumptions.

| Well seraph all I can say is that I follow Pound's dictum. Whether or not I succeed is of course not up to me to decide. |

I've got one soundfile posted to electromusic.com, it's around 5 minutes in length. Thanks for your interest. |
