I quite enjoyed the thoughtfulness of this post as well. One of things I
would like to say about my current pet, Buzz, the fancy patch-wiring,
plugin-unit-generator tracker, is that it enables a certain degree of
algorithmic composition for the composers of, among other things,
Goa-trance. I've heard enough Buzz songs now to see that it's not limited to
techno or ambient. I'm going to try making some pieces myself. If I don't
use too many samples, they'll be small enough to email, like Csound scores.

Hmm you simply cannot put at the same level say Wagner´s Tristan (or a good
Strauss vals, if you prefer popular genres) and the last CD of good dance
music.
Particularly I enjoy hearing well produced goa-trance music, which is a bit
outdated nowadays....

As Csound is biased towards serious timbral
research - and not much more honestly-, I see it naturaly linked to powerful
algorithmic composition packages to help in the elaboration of complex
scores
for example.
