By intonation, do you mean the pitch, or the feel of the sound? [I'm assuming the latter] I've messed around with sound on the computer, and it is amazing how hard it is to make two pitches have the same texture (timbre?). I know a lot of experimental music artists (I think a lot of krautrock, specifically) claim to focus more on the texture of sounds than on the rhythm, melody, etc; I've figured electronics had a lot to do with that.

I imagine that playing a real instrument would be much more entertaining than something like live coding, just because you have to constantly create each sound.

P.S. I hope this isn't too hard to understand, and sorry for replying to your comment 20 days later.
