your logic is flawed. because the electronic musician is the person creating the music. and if you do claim that it is music, then the person who creates it, not composes, but physically makes the sounds happen, would be a musician. i dont for instance consider phillip jeck and christian marclay to be composers but rather musicians.

regardless, there are turntables that can be made to make sounds without electricity, just like the grammaphone. yes it would not sound the same as with a mixer and whatnot, but it still makes sounds. just like many electric guitarists who rely heavily on effects would not have much to do when the power goes out.
