Fear and bravery
"An act of bravery to break out of tonality's coffin earlier in this century. The rule-inventing and rule-breaking of that era unblocked new musical thoughts. Today, electronics require similar courage to approach and offer the same liberation. Atonalism also offered a distraction; suddenly, in order to be a composer one had to study mathematics. An equivalant distraction value comes today out of using electronics, particular live electronics. Fear and distraction are an important part of electronic music today. Perhaps in the future the computer will be easy to configure and use, and as reliable as a piano is now.
If this happens, composers and performers will seek new sources of uncertainty."
(Puckette and Settl, 1993)
