It used to be that a Musical Instrument was a noise-making process
that the musician interacted with in an enjoyable and inspirational
way.
Today there's a cult that wants to replace all musical instruments
with computers playing samples, so there's absolutely no interaction
with the noise-making process.
That's surreal.
Am I the only one thinking "Stepford Wives" here?
