ok... i think going back to this article and digging into the linked interviews really gave me better insight into Yamane and how a composer game composer in her era might have been thinking. one thing that stood out to me was that the job of composing could potentially be separate from the synthesizing/interpretation of the composition, as she noted that she enjoyed the Genesis sound chip because she got to do both when she did those scores! Super fascinating (and new to me)
