Job of Artist (was: using Pre-recorded Loops Cheating)

["Qua Veda" <qua@oregon.com>]

For some artists, entertainers, athletes, techies, creative expression 
comes
out of silence, inner space, pure consciousness.  At least the impulse - if
not the full form of it.  In these cases, if the artist chooses to allow
their mind to 'get out of the way' and let the creative impulse express
through them in whatever form it can,  then the purpose transcends the
pleasing the audience.

This can also be the case with everything we do, not just 'art' :-)
