I like to think that AMYCD is an example of what Brin talks about when
he discusses the rise of competent amateurism. In AFAIK only one piece
was recorded in a studio (and I am pretty sure that was a piecemeal
affair). The rest were recorded in bedrooms, living rooms, basements
and converted garages. Most were recorded using the artists personal
computer. I am quite amazed at the quality results one can achieve in
such ordinary circumstances.
Yeah I know a few people who record in their bedrooms etc, and the quality
of the music can be suprising.
As for the competent amateurism bit, I must say that personal experience on
my part leads me to agree with you and of course da Docta. There are many
"amateur" artists out there breeding competent creation in a variety of
different mediums. Some even go so far as to excel and consequently rival
the pros. Some.

It's worth quite a lot, even though I doubt I have done anything
worthy of such props.

And those things you like happen to be things that tickle my fancy; at least
in this instance. Hence, cool.
