To actually give my opinion, I think "musician" is a general title meant to encompass the more specific types of musician. Where you have performers, composers, etc., these all require a particular skill set that is common to most, if not all, musicians. While you can be any of these things, you can be considered a musician... BUT... simply as a general term that everyone can understand.
If you wanted the term to be an actual professional title, then you would term it "professional musician". I really don't think it's necessary to argue whether the general term of musician is correct for computer composers, as many of those people have the very same skill sets and abilities as performing musicians. Many of them might actually do so in their spare time. So I think it's unnecessary to try and differentiate between them. Call them musicians and call it a day.

Say you had all that knowledge of theory and musical instruments/composing and you decided not to use any of it on your latest project, I would then consider you a producer. While most producers have music degrees or extensive live sound backgrounds their are certainly some that just know what sounds good and have learned to program and edit very well. Like I mentioned earlier I think its a fine line in what is a musician and producer when talking about electronic music. I guess my problem with it (when talking about creating it) is the pretentious attitude lots of these Dj's or "musicians" (depending on the outcome of this thread ![]() I guess I take this attitude towards it because I had much higher hopes for the technology that is being misused by many in my opinion today. The possibilities when mixing live instruments and computer programmed music is huge. I find electronic live shows (when not on drugs) to be intensly boring with no reason to watch someone playing pre recording music for the most part, but why is their not more bands doing that with the aid of live instruments. Mixing and making samples of whats being played on stage in real time. Surely it could be done an is probably happening somewhere. It would make for an exciting interactive show. edit: Also just to be clear I very much respect guys making this music and know I could never do it without much work and practice.

Symbiotic relationships man. Then the question will be whether or not human music people are musicians or biological programmers. I guess in the grand scheme, it doesn't really matter. Does anyone here know a few names of some actual good electronic stuff. Right know, about 99% of what I've heard is garbage.
