I'm not sure what you're talking about, it sounded like a whole load of nonsense.tapper mike wrote:The problem with removing human involvement in the physical performance is it removes humanity from the process which reduces composition arrangement and performance to an equation.aciddose wrote:You are operating under the assumption that this person uses a physical instrument while this may not be the case.
My opinion regarding instruments is that they have a very significant influence on what you play due to the practicality of playing them.
I was merely pointing out the fact that the instrument a person uses may not be the instrument you think they use.
For example keyboards are quite common. Perhaps this person does not use a keyboard?
The keyboard has a massive influence on what you produce while using one. There is absolutely no doubt of that. In fact the keyboard has more influence than the performer in most cases.
Evidence: we can easily identify a keyboard performance vs. a guitar performance. It is exceedingly difficult if even possible to reproduce one with the other.
