"The tools you use to make your music affect the way you make it, so
affect your music."

Oh yes, I agree--the process should encourage and enhance, but never dictate or let the musician fall back on pre-programmed formulas. However, the listener should only hear music, not the tools themselves.

"You can't analyse all the parameters that affect your spirit, just be
conscious the you are not a numeric working machine and not close like
a chip to your envirronment."

Not 100% certain what you mean, but I *think* it reflects my feelings.

Try to see the question with another point of view.
The tools you use to make your music affect the way you make it, so
affect your music.
You can't analyse all the parameters that affect your spirit, just be
conscious the you are not a numeric working machine and not close like
a chip to your envirronment.
