Subject: RE: Expecting Sidders folk to flood the Cat?
How does Jim Causley come into it? (Though I'm sure he could do voice and/or instrument sampling if he wanted to, as Jim Moray has done in certain projects, such as his finals dissertation which became his first solo album). Each "Jim" has studied music at different English universities and it goes without saying that they both know vastly more about English music than WAV does. And what exactly do you mean by "synthesised music"? The use of a midi-controller for guitar effects? Are you saying that's not "folk music"? How very last century. I'm sure Jim M will correct me if I'm not paraphrasing him correctly, but he seems to me to be using what it takes to get the sound he wants that reflects where music is today, for today's ears. Isn't that what musicians have always done through the ages?
