If you can only play basic chords on a guitar and piano but can do the most complex beat on your computer then in what world would the music you make not sound like that? I didn't say it was a bad thing. As for the rest, I guess I just like the sound of live instruments. [Edited 5/29/17 14:47pm]

I agree that if you don't have the knowledge of music theory and only know a couple of chords then it will be reflected in the music made, maybe that's where a lot of electronic music fails.

But you can have a good understanding of music theory and not be able to play a traditional instrument very well. I can make any chord you want to hear on a piano and I can make it sound perfect, but I'm not a great piano player. In software I can put lots of notes together and make them sound great, without needing the physical skill and years of practice.

I think this is where electronic music democratises music composition and is one of the great things about it.

Agree, well said.

That is why it is important for artists to be open minded/well rounded and educated about music.

You can listen to my music on SoundCloud. I have musical diarrhoea (I started about a year and a half ago and have made more than a hundred tracks), which is appropriate as people say it is shit.

Anyway, I was played on the local BBC Introducing radio programme last night so some of it must be ok.

If you like it then I'm happy. If you don't then...whatever.

He's stuck in the past and the world will continue moving on without him. It doesn't matter what you use to create - the only thing that matters is the result. It's the job of the artist to innovate and push music forward. People like him will complain and eventually be left behind by an ever changing world.

Well said!

Do you have any new shit? I bought your album a few years ago; it was pretty good.

"Phoenix" is pretty good. Love the beat.

Thanks!
