I do agree with Torn Curtain that there are people who create within what they percieve as an artistic enviroment with a way too mathematical mind. This is not to say that an artist must be ignorant of what goes on technologically in their field at all, it's just that when it comes to create they need to be able to focus all the techniques that they've learnt into an emotional whole, coherent or not, otherwise their work will end up lacking soul.
I do agree with a lot of what you're saying in the above post, by the way.

Sure, there are just a lot of types of "soul" besides the one that people most often think of. To me, John Cage is incredibly soulful. Granted, I've read a lot of his writing and lectures, so I know the whole picture, but it mostly verifies what I got out of the music.
