All depends on your point of view. I think that music totally created with something like the Tenori-on can be sterile sounding, but when juxtaposed against acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments I think you can get a really interesting effect that sheds some light on the human/machine interaction and "highlight" the imperfect nature of a human playing a traditional instrument in a way that's different than when alone. Kind of similar to a rapper singing over an 808. One of the things I love to use it for is it's "random" tracks which let you put points on the grid and then the sequencer collects the "dots" with a tone each time the dot is reached. Not very random on it's own, but then you can "spin" the dot matrix which is constantly changing the relationship between the dots. Not really random or chaotic, but it can add a nice effect to a stiff rhythm. But what do I know? There are 4 robots currently within 5 ft of me.
