"When programmers learn to think in terms of true song rather than in those of rhythm (in the limited sense of insistence), the computer will be re-created, and its position as a musical instrument will, I venture to think, no longer be questioned. Let us blame, not the computer, but the programmers. It is a mysterious instrument, and illusion enters largely into musical performance thereon, but it is an illusion which can take on a curious air of reality."

"Digital instruments have their limitations; but then, so has every medium through which music comes to us, the much-vaunted orchestra being no exception. The computer cannot compete with the orchestra, and the endeavour to make it do so results in a disservice to the computer."
