You can change the timbre of a note through physical instruments too. No good musician views music only through the lens of notes regardless of what instrument they play. If you prefer electronic music, that's fine. But don't act like its somehow superior to other kinds of music.
I wasn't, you are putting words in my mouth, I am absolutely aware that good musicians change the timbre of the instrument they are playing to express themselves but those things are usually considered the details, the flourishes, or embellishments of performance, not the core focus of the performance. All you need to do is take a cursory glance at sheet music to understand how most western genres of music perceive the experience and performance of music.
The first people to master this type of music composition and performance were likely didgeridoo players, or maybe it was players of some instrument in Chinese culture that I am unaware of since Chinese history goes back so far... so yah it ain't new.
I mean no, the first people to master timbre were singers, followed by drummers, ~tens~ hundreds of thousands of years ago. Let's not lose our heads here.
Ok sure that is reasonable, I was just trying to provide examples of non-percussive non-voice musical instruments.
Also I lost my head a long long time ago, have you seen it lying around anywhere?
My apologies if I misunderstood you. I do disagree that such things are considered just small details though. In my experience, those details will make or break the entire performance. No one wants to listen to a live performance of what sounds like a midi track.
I do agree western music notation is very flawed, but creating a kind of notation that properly represents those things is nearly impossible. People have been trying for centuries, but so far the current form of notation is the best we can come up with.
Because of its limitations, musicians very often treat sheet music as a general guide, and deviate from it whenever they feel it is necessary.
