Do-It-Yourself Music

Below is a link to a really interesting article about the new breed of "artists" in the world who have emerged following the increase in technology, and people's ability to create and record their own music at home. In most cases these days it is cheaper to do at home, and with programs such as Pro-Tools, almost as professional as what comes from most engineers/producers, who used to do all the tweaking by ear.

Although this article is about an increase in sales of musical instruments used in home recordings, it is also electronic sounds that are becoming easier to create. As computer created sounds become more and more common I wonder what that will mean for live music? Will people be able to re-create their masterpieces on a stage, or will they even want to?
