Interesting you should say this.... It's an insightful observation.
For quite a few years I did freelance work creating demos for instrument manufacturers. For example, I created lots of original MIDI files for Yamaha to use when launching their XG synths and soundcards back in the 90's. AMD hired me (along with Thomas Dolby, Jan Hammer, Keith Emerson, etc.) to create demos for the launch of a new wavetable chip for soundcards. I also created music to demonstrate the musical capabilities of WebTV's set-top box, and Creative Labs used my music at tradeshows (like Comdex) to demonstrate their soundcards.
I guess all of that "demo" work has influenced me.... Now I am just a guy at home who likes to try and make "cool sounding stuff" with my synths, and I guess I am still making product demos.
But thanks for your observations and kind words.
