if you are just trying to make good new electronic music of any genre, ableton is the simplest path from brain to speaker, whether glitch, electro, classical, indie pop, trance, you name it.
As I count more and more birthdays, I've learned that simple declarative sentences about a wide range of human behaviour just don't work. Ableton drives me crazy, but you have to bear in mind that I'm an old guy who uses stuff like rtcmix (and of course some chuck) for most of my musical work. And I'm definitely not one of those "stars of music". Oh well. :-) I did just put a bunch of music on-line from this summer, however. If you're so inclined, check out: http://music.columbia.edu/~brad/music/ The "summer2006" and "mando::summer" series use a lot of chuck/chuck~ and RTcmix/rtcmix~ (as well as plugins constructed using them) for the sound synthesis and processing. brad http://music.columbia.edu/~brad
