You should really just ask him what type of vodka he wants and where to ship it to

How bout a neural interface that takes the music in yer noggin straight to the daw?Day 1: Modular synth wall + A.I.- guided sequencing + acoustic instruments/sources. Turn everything on, walk out of the studio, make a drink, shuffle back in, hit record, sit at the piano stool, look out the window, (take a sip, noodle a bit) x 8 or 12 times, hit stop, change settings, move to another instrument, hit record, etc...
Day 2: Edit
Repeat.
That’s what I’m aiming for when I retire.
You better register that now!Composing would be so much easier if they created the brainbolt connection that plugs starignt into your forehead.
Crystal clear 192k 32bit float 0 latency, jitter free thought recording. With class leading A/D brain conversion technology, and an unprecedented 0 to 10 billion brainnamic range. Seemlessley intergreating with your chosen DAW to create compelling music, straight from the brain.
Link it. Think it. Brainbolt.

Nah, I'm one of the good onesI would. But you have probably already already beat me to it...
Nah, I'm one of the good ones
Link it. Think it. Brainbolt.

Some one once told me I could sell steam to a turd. Screw music! Screw labour! Who needs a slogan??

As someone who is both a composer and who does not play piano, I can say for certain that this is true.Lazy or not, a composer is a composer. Doesn't really matter what tools you use but not playing piano is like forcing yourself to use pillows to make orange juice.
A commendable aspiration, Ned.Repeat.

Greg,
I'm not sure composing is about the piano in some forms of music, especially orchestral. In fact I'd say the piano is a hindrance in orchestral writing.
I think he meant the ability to play keys.
IDGAFAre We Still Composers?
Vangelis is on interview actually stating he doesn't. He has a Russian woman transcribe all his work by ear. Which is a feat in and of itself. Not that it means much though. Vangelis is talented in a way I think none of us could ever hope to be...
Just to clarify; reading and writing notes is part of a toolbox you can use to create music. It is a handy one, and partly, in some areas of music composition, an indispensable skill.
I could learn to read notes. Maybe one day, when the need arises, I will learn to read them. Right now, however, I am fully sunken into the synth-sound design aesthetic, which I truly, deeply love. I am not talking about the whole epic thing either, which I don't like. That said, stopping making music now to learn how to read notes would stop my musical aspirations dead in their tracks. There's only so much time to spend in a day; I choose to devote that to creating new timbres and textures that are as of yet unheard.
I still am musical, so I'm not mangling sounds for mangling's sake. I just love to explore that aspect and combine it with some more traditional musical elements.
Point is: I choose to focus on a completely different aspect of making music. An aspect which in my opinion is as much a part of the craft as anything mentioned here. And this is what I'm trying to get at: what is 'the craft' exactly? What does that constitute? If I choose, willingly, one aspect over the other to focus on, make me lesser of a practitioner of said 'craft?'
I say the I don't give a hoot about the craft as such not because I don't see it as a craft. I say it because I have had enough people saying you need to do x or y otherwise you are not a 'real composer', whatever that means. I learned to stop apologizing for something I shouldn't have to apologize for.
