"When will humanity no longer define being human?"
Organic vs. synthetic.
"I can feel their pain through their voice, through their strokes on the guitar strings."
What about a keyboard? What about a soundboard? No strings, just buttons. No strings, no soul?
"Instrumentals have moved me."
Where is the human lost then? These wires don't write the song for me. People are not moved because this line of code has analyzed tone and song structure. No. Human ears juxtaposed these notes.
"I connect with imperfection."
What is an orchestra without a composer or music? What is a synthesizer without two hands and an imagination? Good music is exclusively coupled with physical skill all too often. Granted, it is something to be respected, but the opposite cannot be. Wonderfully beautiful music can be made without "human imperfection and organic instruments."
