Here is my collage for Week 4.  
The background is made up of images relating to computers with reference to computer generated music.  Some of the images show tired frustrated users and tense fingers on keyboards. Overlaid on this is a cello and saxophone, the saxophone is cradle by relaxed hands.  These images are monochrome and gentle and for me depict mellow relaxing music in contrast to the computer images which  are brightly coloured and show a sense of frustration.  It also probably reflects my lack of understanding of computer generated music.

Great composition, you've chosen a very controversial subject so it's understandably hard to convey the complexity of the issue. The transition from conventional instruments to entirely digitally generated music holds a lot of fear and confusion for the previous generations or those who are attached to tradition, while pioneers in digital music receive much criticism and no credit.

You've done a good job of depicting the conflict in this issue, but maybe not a very clear conclusion. Perhaps you don't yet have one yourself?

I like the layout of your collage. it almost looks 3d which is cool. it has alot of depth and the colours just complement each other.
