Hi Tim, thanks for replying! Well I did spend about fifteen years of my life working with acoustic instruments and I enjoy doing that so much I want to carry that fine motoric approach with me now that I'm going electronic. So that's a slightly different genre than live coding... And from that perspective, coding software tools does seem like woodwork because you are preparing your computer to be used somewhat like an acoustic instrument. That's not better or worse, it's just what I chose to be doing. Having said that, the live coding approach fascinates the heck out of me now that I've seen it for the first time... exciting, exciting stuff and unheard of to me so far! Carlo
