I've got 2 pieces partially done. I don't know if you'll care for them since they're both electronic-techno. I still like Bok Choy and I'm thinking about extending that piece. What do you think?

I rarely crack out the old Tangerine Dream but I'm playing the hell out of Paul Haslinger's latest. For those who don't know, Paul was a member of TD in the late '90's. He brought a lot of electric guitar into the mix but mainly followed TD tradition with mondo electronic keyboards. It turns out he's one hell of a composer with a very heavy ethnic slant. That's what is appealing to me so much. I love ethnic musics and that prompted me to do Bok Choy before I did anything else.

I toyed with a traditional Thai track, but I have to admit that their instruments are very limited and the color range of the Thai audio palette leaves me cold. Think Indonesian Gamelan with limited metal and predominant wood percussion. Not much to work with. I looked into it because I thought my Thai friends would get a kick out of it.

After I get the techno out of my system I will probably turn back to World Music again. I have an Ambient idea kicking around, too.

There's just so much to do. When I work on my website I'm so far behind in developing graphics, I end up putting things off. Now that work is dead I have a lot of time on my hands so I'll see just what I can achieve. I will try to resist the temptation to work on some music, then do a few graphics, then write a few reviews, then design some pages and finally run out of time before my trip ending up with nothing posted online.

I like electronic-techno well enough. But I would leave Bok Choy alone. I thought it was just about perfect the way it was.

That sounds good to me, TD+Guitar

How do you do this? Are you plugging in a midi keyboard or doing it all on your computer?

Don't be ridiculous. That could never happen!
