Likewise for all my Csound works except "What's in a Name?" (which is pure 
and obviously sample-based).

As to "exciting"? No. (My objective is meditative anyway.)

As to "good"? Again, in the mind of the beholder.

I surely agree that it is far easier to get "interesting" (as is 
real-life-like) sound starting with samples. Real life sounds are so subtle 
and complex that it well-nigh impossible to emulate most of them with pure 
synthesis. (Typically, I wouldn't know where to begin, in most cases.) It 
would be rather like trying to emulate a violin on an organ. Just adding 
vibrato doesn't do it.

And of course there's always the question, "Do you *want* to emulate real 
life sounds?", and if so to what degree?

Hi there all,

I'm looking forward to checking this music out ASAP. Sorry, btw, it was 
a bit naughty of me to use such deliberately contentious and subjective 
words as "good, exciting, interesting", but it's interesting to see if 
people have an emotional attachment to purely synthesised music to the 
same extent that people have to music made in more traditional ways.

All the best,

Joe
