"They are new tools and in the right hands, will turn out amazing passionate projects" Brian

Maybe I misunderstand this new technology. Doesn't this App create the music itself, i.e. chords, melody, rhythm, etc.? So where is the passion in composing? It’s not a tool for the composer – it replaces the composer with pre-programmed music bits & pieces. Kind of like putting a puzzle together with preselected shapes (within the programmer’s box).

Don’t misunderstand me, I’m all for technology that aids the composer in the production stage. Programs like the EWQL Symphonic Orchestra are wonderful. I mean, how many composers have access to their own live symphonic orchestra? And yes, freedom to choose means also freedom to disapprove. Which I whole-heartedly do.

I can’t help but wonder how many young minds will use this technology and never experience the passion of really composing.

Hope I'm not coming across like those holier-than-thou elitists that I hated in my early years. Some of those longhairs were so snobbish they even put-down Scott Joplin’s piano rags – imagine.
