Quote to check out :

"When we say that [technologies] are 'mere automatisms', we project as much as when we say they are 'loving creatures'; the only difference is that the latter is an anthropomorphism and the former a technomorphism"

-from "Toward a New Organology: Instruments of Music and Science" by John Tresch and Emily Dolan

I like this quote in regards to us using technology as performers of electronic music. Our performance will inevitably have a dynamic between our humanity and our instruments of choice [a dynamic between anthropomorphism and technomorphism], and I want it to remain an active conversation that we can choose either to be dominant from piece to piece.
