It's the human factor. Realness. Each individual has a personal style.
Like a fingerprint. And it comes thru in the playing. No form of
technology can duplicate that. And if it should ever happen, we'll all be
done for. I have found that, even when I listen to electronic music, I
find myself thinking that it would sound better in conjunction with 'real
' instruments. Particularly some of the Daft Punk stuff that I've heard.
Kick some funky brass in the mix and it could be phenominal......now
that, I would like somebody to do.....hell, maybe I'll do it myself.
