Yes it is music, Technology allways played a vital role in music. Even electric guitar was not acceptable once upon a time. Even musical intruments do evulate time by time. Piano didn't exist some years back. Computer is not an alien, computers are made by humans, so the music made by computers should be appriciated if it is good.
