That's a joke. The machine isn't taking over the process of creation - it's inspired by you. And when you play, you can hear the elementary theme you've plinked on the computer piano transformed into a real, innovative piece of music. I was amazed at my own performance, and I was amazed at the machine. I'm not a musician (although I spent six years trying to play the oboe) so for me, it was invigorating to explore a new type of artistic expression. What's great about the quartet is that it's so easy to be creative with something so complex. And it's really fun, too.

That’s a joke.

What ever happened to making music the old fashion way? I did find Lindsay's writing absolutely creative.

Being an ex-musician myself, it's different to equate playing music with a machine. But I do see the connection between creating/writing music and the making the machines that makes it. Interesting.
