Quite unlikely, but mods can refer to it when they merge signature threads together.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.

it makes mine look better.
I am offended to read that you suggest that signatures and "computer created art" are related enough to lump them together.
omg created by computers that isnt real art
I'm sure using stock images to create something may not qualify as art in some cases, but there's a difference between [nyeh] and [nyah] . I'll passingly mention that "computer created art" can be wholly [original] and takes plenty of effort.* I do not see how it could be considered to be on the same level as a signature.
*total stranger; no clue who that person is. Just an example.
Can I post computer music, then?
Music created by computer software isn't real music.
creating using computer software, or created by a computer programmed to write music?
Text created by computer software isn't real text. :rolleyes2
[q=eestlinc] creating using computer software, or created by a computer programmed to write music?[/q]In either case, I believe a fair amount of original creativity is required. I've been creating instruments using Csound for my class using different methods of synthesis. Doesn't that require creativity? I can use a MIDI sequencer to arrange my compositions. The compositional creative element is still there.
What Yamaneko probably intends to say is that a melodic line or a rhythm created by a computer using mathematical algorithms isn't creative. But then again, doesn't the programmer of the algorithm have to decide what codes to use? That's essentially all Csound is - mathematical formulation of music. How is that any different from the rules that Bach went by to write his fugues?
The only instance I can think of a person not getting credit for a computer-driven composition is a professor at UCSC, David Cope, who has created a database program to apply rules used by classical composers to an extensive collection of musical phrases to finish their unfinished works (he did one for Tchaikovsky, I think). The computer software was given credit for finishing the composition, and at first would not be played by symphonies for that reason.

...I think Yams was being sarcastic.
Yes, especially since I greatly enjoy electronic music, and that my brother has been working on an album entirely based on soft synths for the past few years.
