I think there is probably a division of people, but yeah, there are 
certainly people like that....having played with so many "laptop" 
players that don't know how to make music breath...laptopitis: from the

sound...drives me nuts....what good is a new "sound" if it is not used 
in a creative way....compositionally, texturally, dynamically....
