i think this is an important question. each have equal merit but people often overlook the importance of technology. who are the real artists the people organising the noise or the people designing the sounds/software/hardware in the first place? there would have been no music concrete without tape machines, no radiophonic workshop without Dave Young, maybe no techno without roland, no hardcore without akai...

i think a lot of artists are now intrested in designing their software, just look at the rise of reaktor, max/msp, vst. it will be interesting to see what next is in store.

the future of music is a combination of the tools that are created by inspirational engineers and the artists that fuse the sounds together.
