Yes, although I'm surprised more people on this list who are musically inclined 
never got into electronic music (both composing and designing 
software/hardware).  At least, most of the people who have spoken up haven't 
said so.

I sang concert choir for a long time throughout school and was eventually 
invited to sing a John Rutter piece at Carnegie Hall, a moment I will never 
forget.  Dropped singing altogether once I hit college though.  But what I have 
always loved is coaxing music out of computer that were never meant to do it. 
Music Construction Set is a high point of my childhood -- 4 seperate voices 
(using Pulse-Width Modulation, I guess?) out of the 5150 speaker.  Using such a 
pure instrument -- where each voice is exactly the same timbre -- really helped 
me appreciate classical music, for example.
