i'd love to. i enjoy using weird speech stuff in my tracks. for me and many
other producers, the vocal is just another part of the song. the song is not
there to support the vocal, like in most 'normal' songs. i'd use it if only
to get rid of the arguments with singers after i've mangled their voice..;-)

oh, come on now. did the synthesizer replace piano players? are there less
drummers since the coming of the linn drum? no.

not all producers are like that. it's the bedroom producer where musical
innovation comes from these days..and for a ig part thanks to them the
interest in analogue and even diy is back again.

i sense a negative vibe here..;-)

there's more music being released these days than ever. the indie labels are
doing fine. it's the majors that are suffering, and for a good reason:
releasing shit for inflated prices. of course it's more subtle than that,
but don't believe all the 'let's blame the kazaa users and cd copiers' hype.
