All of my comments on this topic have to do with keyboard music. I'm not hiding, denying, or apologizing for the fact. Please understanding that I'm not preaching something here; I'm suggesting the addition of what clearly is a gaping vacuum in the synthesizer repertoire. I would like to see a body of synthesizer music composed for, and performed on, keyboard and pedalboard synthesizer. That I'm speaking of something similar to sacred and classical organ music should be obvious by now, as is the fact that this new synthesizer music could easily be performed on a church organ, and also arranged for harpsichord and piano. Regardless of all that, I'm speaking of true synthesizer compositions that use traditional triggering mechanisms - keyboard and pedalboard.
So, why no sequencer (presuming you mean one previously programmed, rather than one used as a modulation controller)? Simply because it's another type of instrument that is triggered mechanically. It lacks both a keyboard and a keyboard performer who is expressively playing each note with the arm, hand, fingers, toes, and heels.
Subotnick's music already exists, right? Synthesizer music with sequencers, drum machines, and tons of effects already exists, right? It exists in mass volumes and will continue to be produced. Well, I'm suggesting something new, something in addition to what already exists.
When you or someone else asks why I'm excluding sequencers, my only answer is, "Who's excluding anything at all?" Meaning, it all already exists! All I'm speaking of here is adding something new - a simpler and purer form of synthesizer music.
Chysn, if you really want to know what exactly I have in mind, it's precisely the type of music that's on my YouTube channel. That's it, plain and simple. My only intention here is to encourage and discuss the creation of a large repertoire of this sort of music - composed for and performed on synthesizer, light on technology and heavy on classical modes of music, and excelling in the elements of melody, harmony, and counterpoint.
