or the past 30 years I’ve been dabbling in the digital arts. In music, in graphics and indeed in programming itself. Digital offers huge advantages over the physical world, in speed of production, editability and economy of experiment. You don’t waste paint and canvas when creating an image in Photoshop, and there’s no twanging of strings or blowing on hard reeds in Ableton.
