Electronic musical instrument?

It's absurd to think that “electronic music” is taking the place of instrumentalists, and that it is not much different than that of playing a video game, (as if the electronic world is nothing more than plug and play sounds.) If sound reaction is truly what we are supposed to be after as musicians than how can we stop that search from an organic growth in the digital realm? It’s not that I am saying the sounds we find through traditional analog instruments is at its limits, I’d just say that the electronic world seems to be adding an infinite view to this notion. I would test the musician that says electronic music is no more than “pops and squeaks” to be aware of his/her own hypocrisy in finding sound possibilities that evoke things out of us. Not licks, sound! What then is the musical search ultimately? Is it popularity? Culture? Story telling? All of those things are great in the scheme of making music, but it does always come down to a sound. Just how moved we are by film scores. Turn off the music- few tears. Turn on the music- gushing tears. Music is something that evokes “Godliness” inside of us. We cannot explain it (yet), and we’d rather not. But as music-artists, how much of our search is related to sound or vibration study, and how much is just recycling the same old shit in the name of tradition, trend, acceptance, etc. I’d say that all those who pay homage to eras of music are no more than conservation societies. I have a difficult time calling that work “art” in any way. Except to give them the notion of expression as art; like how a concert pianist interprets a Beethoven sonata, etc. But as far as those writing, improvising, etc., the most important thing will always be sound. In essence that is how pop music disguises its regurgitation. Even I enjoy a good techno tune, or a band that decides to mish mash the amp frequencies, but play the same four chords. Truth is I have no problem with any of these notions, including a 50’s music society. I do however have an issue with un-evolved artistic views verging on hypocrisy. One day people thought what Ray Charles was doing was blasphemous as well as absurd. He now will always be an artistic national treasure. I am sure the first caveman to paint on walls was hailed as crazy, yet we preserve those paintings now with passion. And Van Gogh… I think the pattern is clear. As for my choice, I ‘d like to believe I would be of the few appreciating Van Gogh while he was still working.
