working methods
changing working methods is painful but essential. i typically work with field recordings or vst instruments in a strictly cubase environment. this has been fun and challenging, but i'm interested in trying out some new methods. first, i've been trying to get my head around max/msp. it is great fun but intimidating as hell. almost too many possibilities.
the second is ableton live. i've toyed with it in the past but nothing serious. what i'm currently working on is a remix of earlier work, and this seemed to be a perfect experiment to cut my teeth in an ableton live environment. it's a lot more powerful than i remember, and quite intuitive. this change in workflow has opened up all kinds of new doors to strange ideas.
although i'd rather be playing with live samples fed through analogue gear there are still so many ways to be having fun with the boring old laptop.
