I'd love to see all your equipment, man. *envy* Gimme lots of buttons to play with :D

You really need to post some vids on you tube to shed some light on your creative process. I'd offer you some of me but I'm still trying to break out of the "studio recording" mindset and develop some better live gig ideas.

I can however offer some vids of my friend Toby. He's pretty original, and currently signed with a label.

performance demo at 3 minutes.
this next one shows some of his live show, spoken word confessional rapping just in case you are curious

that dude is pretty sick, I like his music.

It's true about the live sets though, You can't just be a studio guy.

I would make a video but I got no camera lol

I'm kind of curious now, do you do live stuff? If you do, I was curious, how much do people read in to technique? Do they appreciate when you build something from the ground up in front of them or are they all like "I want fully developed ideas from the start even if it was recorded before hand"
