I never attempt to analyse the music I enjoy, nor that which I compose myself. My experience is that the closer you try to examine something that moves you, the further away you get from it. I take the same attitude with all creative activities such as art, dance, prose & poetry. If I like it, then that's good. If I don't, well I know what not to see/hear. -- Will J G _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
