You’re in good company:
– Björk
And cuz I like quotes:
– Bob Dylan
I actually disagree with Björk on this. First of all, I think computer CAN write music if you teach it how to. And second I think the “soul” in music comes mostly from the listener rather than writer. That’s one of the reasons why people don’t like some kinds of music, and never can really see the soul in one genre or other.
That’s true.
I was reluctant in responding but the jester in me escaped the shackles of manners. Maybe you should kick that fool in the gonads, maybe then, he’ll have some “feelings”.
“Teach” meaning “program”, so…
Yeah… a bad mood can make you unreceptive for the most magnificient stuff, while a good mood can find anything beautiful… but still: “play from your fucking heart”, anything else is just a waste of time. I’d rather put heart blood into something that gets ignored then hack something together which I personally hate but that gets praised by others.
I agree with the Bjork quote (and I adore her music) for the post part, but I also understand what you’re saying here. I have a friend who’s a big Metal guitar guy and he tried to tell me that John Petrucci is a soulful guitarist. I actually laughed at the notion, because listening to John Petrucci made me feel like I was being beaten in the face with “Music Theory: Guitar Edition” repeatedly. I heard nothing emotive about it, rather, I just heard some cat showing off what he learned at Berklee.
I guess a lot of it boils down to a difference in preference, but still… it bothers me when people who don’t know music accuse “my style” of being soulless and devoid of skill.
TMI 
Some of you have already heard my In-Fatuated track, which is probably my most emotive one to date, albeit rather generic. On In-Fluence.com - 3rd track down.
Good topic though, will listen back to others when I’m back from work

Only available as stream for now, but not too long anymore.
Otherwise i really appreciate songs from It-Alien, Foo, Achenar and also Keith303. Especially his last one is simply incredible, song title is “En Vie”.
maybe, maybe not… but heck, it’s a good reason to spam stuff, heh.
Cry Of The Chased - Epic melodic + melancholic trance
Toybox Going Wild - Toybox alike stuff
Du Bist Mein - Orchestral/electro/industrial soundtrack
It’s Her Wonderful Night - Orchestral loveballad
Four Potential Faces Of A Fading Future - soothing trance tune
Thoughts - simple but dreamy soundscapes
as said, maybe suitable… I don’t really know.
I think that song is a great example. Great Job. Love the synth line.
Thanks for all the replies people. I seemed to have shut him up after the first wave of replies so hopefully he realised he was being stupid.
This guy is into electronic music and DJs the likes of techno and dubstep so how he could be so blinkered is strange. Must say his own productions so far are some of the blandest I’ve heard. Not sure what he’s been using though…
Keep 'em coming!!
I released this track a while ago: Kys Mit Blodrøde Smil,
was told it has a big ‘emotion’ factor

She uses Renoise. Makes really good dubstep. (the minimal, ambient type rather than the de-tuned distorted square-wave LFO filter wobbly type)
thanks for the link. this is great stuff. i really love the high grade mix of “fever”.
and i’m usually not into dubstep at all, but that seems to account only for the wobbly bass stuff.
