Part 2 of the article is now up! http://thecreatorsproject.com/blog/the- … -musicians
My fav quote from this section:
"Today, the lowest common denominator of music production is more a matter of putting together premade pieces than actually composing something entirely new.
That’s where 8-bit musicians like the Datathrash crew differ. Each of these guys has a deep understanding of the circuitry their dealing with, what components are actually producing sound, and how they’re doing it. Presets don’t often come into play in this particular frontier of electronic music, and their methodology is a beacon of hope for those of us who value the human brain’s comprehension of the technology that augments our lives. And for those who don’t, the music still sounds pretty damn cool."
