“I was surprised that the act of removing the safety net of editing felt liberating.”

This really resonates. I recently prepared a live performance of a fully digital composition (performed using MIDI controllers). The constraint of having to modulate every single parameter by hand forced me to restrict the elements to that which was essential. I think the piece ended up stronger for it.

Also love the Herbie Hancock quotation. Would love to have heard that performance.
