I can see how what I said may have been interpreted as being against the discussion, which I'm not. This list is a place for all sorts of dorkiness and that's fine.
I suppose my comment was leakage of some of my thoughts about my own musical production and how ultimately burned-out I've become from over-intellectualized sound design. My main concern is that when people get so far into "mathematizing" music there is an emotional connection that is severed and everything sounds like it was made by Vulcans.
Nothing against brainy music, but it just seems that there's sometimes too much head and not enough heart in the computer music scene.
Carry on,

Just because you are not interested in the conversation, or don't understand it, doesn't mean that other people aren't interested, or that those speaking are trying to be 'elitist'. I really think you are imposing your own feelings onto a discussion between two other people. I think that what Matju and Chuck were discussing was very much on topic, and was quite interesting.
