A close relative of mine is studying composition at a university.
She does not read news, does not read MIDI related magazines, does not
own a Mac, is not fanatical about Kate Bush, but does not hate her
either, does not socialize with any technologically oriented people,
etc.

But: she certainly can use a score editor to maximum effect, can control
a whole array of synthesizers quite well with a computer, and, of
course, composes music a lot more substantial than anything KT has
done; but music of a different genre, hence perhaps "more substantial"
is not a fair comparison here, objectively speaking. But music has
always been subjective; those who love the work most usually end up
writing a less accessible piece than those less devoted to it.
