Have you ever fucked around with a massively powerful software synthesizer like Pigments or Dune or Serum? Or used a powerful digital fx software like Sandman Pro?

When you have a complex sound generating machine, you can walk around the internals expressing yourself by changing the sound and timbre of the instrument as it plays a note rather than changing the note and the aesthetic dynamics possible far outstrip what seeing music only through the lens of notes can do.
