So by that logic isn't it impossible to be a musician using a computer? You could only be a composer unless you are actually recording sounds from instruments you are playing (hooking up a guitar, keyboard, etc.) And here's a tricky question... I can hook a MIDI keyboard up to my computer and create music by playing the keyboard, so I believe that would be performing the song. Alternatively, I can just click where I want the notes to go in a program and adjust them using only my mouse, and in that case I am performing an action but only essentially writing down music. Would that make me a composer in the latter but a musician in the first case? This is all very complicated...
