Yes, of course there is something interesting and passionate in
"mental" music too (if I could I would bring the last beethoven as a
witness). I think that nobody programing in puredata (or csound or any
other "think before" environment) could say something against that. I
was only reffering to a personal need, because it is me who wants to
have a physical composing/performing complement. I also believe that
live coding certainly does require a lot of mental work as it is very
close to live composing, and just willing to do it is enough
demonstration of passion for me. May be what I didn´t say but I should
have, in order to make my point, was that I believe that a musician
should be (or at least is allowed to be) absolutly selfish, meaning
that he should not care (if he doesn´t want to) about what others say
he should do or behave like in a live situation. Let´s say, he
shouldn´t care about others saying that "he misses rock&roll"
because he wants to be physical in performing, he shouldn´t care about
others saying "he is taking a stand up nap to a playlist", and so on.
Musicians can (and sometimes do) choose even not to perform live, or
even not to perform and only make studio editing art. If making what
the public wants is the goal we might end in an eschizofrenic road (and
no one in public will pay for your shrink). <br>

If he does I take it as a happy coincidence. If he does not I only hope
the musician finds his proper public in order for him to be able to go
on and feel happy sharing.<br>

what makes something art? how do we know if it is any good?
there are no laws about this. people assert them periodically, but
they are soon enough forgotten.

I agree. Maybe it was not understood, but that was my point too. The
only laws that fits what I think about it are "Art is what artists do"
and "an artist is someone who feels that he is an artist"<br>

I´d rather say that anyone should be free to take the limitations they
