this week I was seriously out of spare time, so I made a technical decision. I didn´t go to my studio space at all, I just took one keyboard (Roland Vsynth), one effect unit (Strymon Big Sky) and a recording device (Fostex R8) to my home and bashed quickly together a few short pieces, when I had a some moments to spare... It was actually very refreshing to work just with one synth and skipping all the midi work. I just used the arpeggiator and played the rest in realtime. I did rather complex rhythms by recording a few minutes of arpeggiator improvisations and then added another track with more of the same. After a few false starts I got the tempos almost synced without any midi and it resulted in interesting  and lively results. I just had to keep the tracks very short, so that the arppegiator tempo stayed more or less the same, without too much drifting. I think I will make the tracks for the nex few weeks with the same method...it was actually quite fun and liberating,
