Musician or DJ ?

[VirtualLogic]

Do you play your DJ gear like an instrument or an a to b type mixing?
I have recently been experimenting a lot with random concepts that make my sets more musical.

Is controlerism being a musician or a DJ ?
I think controlerism is more than just using controllers to control software, is it a whole new genre of music.

So are you a musician or a traditional DJ ?

[tyfurious]

I feel as if I'm a traditional DJ transitioning to a Musician. I've been implementing some original tracks and I've actually done a few sets with a guitarist friend of mine...

me and a gitarist friend did that the other night with the loop recorder worker really well

Make your own tunes = musician
Play other people's tunes = dj

Arranger, not composer.

[wrong chris]

musicans create songs with their instruments.

layering fx and cue point juggling onto songs is not the same thing as creating a song from instruments.

alright fair enough but is controllerism a new style of DJing or has it sort of made its own genre ??

[MrPopinjay]

The way I see it is that you can do controllerism without DJing the same way you can scratch without mixing. You could just be doing a little routine rather than doing a mix, like ean in those S4 promo vids.

It all overlaps. It doesn't really matter at the end of the say. All these names and titles are pretty retarded.

I would just like to note that I think anyone who thinks that DJing makes you a musician is a fool.

full ack. with some genres, I'd even go as far as saying that producing doesn't make you a musician.
