I thought the board is a bit quiet at the moment, so I decided to start a nice healthy argument to get things moving.
You can also try and persuade people like me why the Synthesised music shouldnt be stuck up the composers arse.

Well electro bands and the black T-shirt brigade and suchlike have been a source of income for me for a few years so I'm not complaining.
Live and let live eh Fawlty?
Ever done a ukulele orchestra-now that's cutting edge

I am split half and half, i work with a few bands at the mo who use samples and synth'd noises but it is still 'live' it is not as if they stick a cd on and hit go, so i am voting for 'NO'. If a band want to use noise and synth'd sounds that is fine, i mean in the end what is a keyboard?? surely that is classed as synth???

I prefer live music played by real musicians, much like I prefer real ale to carbonated tasteless cold fizz.
However, if synthesized music (non natural sounds) is used to compliment live music and is controlled by a musician, I see no reason why it should not be considered as another instrument, whatever device is producing it.
Music produced totally without musicians, would be to me, like being force-fed cheep lager.
Live music should be kept as a living and breathing interaction between musicians and the audience.

allow me to re phrase the poll question!!
I meant 'Synthesised' as a non live music track pre recorded by some balding man in his mothers house.
I consider the live music on keyboard synths fine and consider that as 'real music'.

Quite a few years ago, my eldest son managed to produce some amazingly real sounding rock music on his home PC, by sequencing and adapting samples of real instruments. I suppose the real difference between lift muzak/jingles/advert sound-tracks and music played by musicians, is just down to the skill and experience of the the people involved.
If you cant play a piano, but can operate a sequencer/sampler with piano samples, so that it is difficult to tell the difference, it is a great way of allowing disabled people to produce good music. Synthesized music, is often just the product of an abused tool.
