Then take away other peoples music from his set and let me see him or her make music.

You see the heart of this discussion and the problem here, is that you need to define the what a musician is . a musician can actually create original music, whether that's playing chords or melody line or rhythm or singing or all of those forms. What does DJ to create music if he or she does not already have someone else's music to work with?



without getting into particulars between a dj and an arranger kb player which both use a device with buttons etc, to make other peoples music play, your just operating & triggering midi style phrases, made by others, on an electronic device, also.......again I unlike some others embrace all kinds of music no matter how its made.

take care
