the article is worth reading for this gem:

"Any Mac user can compose,"

this is the art of journalism at its highest: the most complete idiocy
summed up in five words. and fairly short words at that.

BTW, paul lanksy composed one of my favorite computer pieces of all
time, the six fantasies. i can't honestly say i like much some of his
other pieces, though. but i admire and respect him very much. for the
rest, i think a big fuzz is being made out of this, any composer should
be free to follow their [*] artistic inclinations at any particular
moment. and free also from idiotic journalists.


best,
