I think one of the guys from Crystal Fighters is from my home town.

On the other hand, Deadmau5 is not really an "independent artist" (though I think most of his releases are on his own label) – he's probably the single most popular electro-house producer in the world right now.

Don't worry, you're not the only one. I've played music for years and write music in my spare time and still found this interface to be overwhelming :)

I've been making electronic music using all sorts of software for 15 years and this seems really confusing. I think he could improve it considerably by reducing the visual complexity when zoomed out[1]. He could also create tools for making sub-modules at the patch level, but I get the feeling that this environment is going to remain pretty high-level and such things may not be so useful (as they are in Max/MSP, Reaktor, et al).
