and that's what the computer music i'm thinking of basically works with,
sampled (or computer generated) waveforms... whether it's granular
synthesis or algorithmic sample hacking, it's digitaldigitaldigital... and
until we start working with digital modules that deal with data instead of
straight up voltages, our analog modulars are destined for a different
sound...

but as far as control techniques go, modular analog techniques have been
the major influence on computerpopmusic composition... messing with clock
& trigger signals, wildly varying (yet patterned) tempos, etc. etc. so we
can compete and advance in terms of control, but in terms of generation we
are in a different universe...

bleep.
out.
