hell yeah man!
I'm all percussion too
electro to drill-core to avant-garde, doesn't matter
have been moving towards more overtly-dynamic styles of synthetic percussion
started producing on Reason about when the Jungle Warfare Refill came out
(didn't know ZeroG did a sound/sample set for it, was great fun though)
but moved on to full sequencers and hardware a few months later
Now I've really tried to wrap my whole production flow around Machinedrum
(did a few machinedrum vs machinedrum battle shows a few years back with my
buddy
audiences loved it, the MD will blow a PA to the floor)
like to think of myself as a MD Jedi =)
After seeing Autechre do their show last month with just a MD and MPC1000,
and rock the house with MD sounds i throw away regularly - have been really
inspired to push further
it somehow validated my work, like now that Autechre is doing what i've been
doing for so long,
i actually think of what i do as "music", not just some niched esoteric
hobby
Running
Sequencers: SX2 and Live 4 (Live is tops for break edit sequencing)
Samplers: Kontakt 2, Intakt, and Battery 2 (with Trigger Finger controller)
Synthetics: Absynth 3 and FM7 (sold the G2 keys and looking to move heavy
into Z3ta+)
and Reaktor 4 for processing and bizzarro sequencing
But its mostly focused around Machinedrum work
Sounds like you and I do similar work
would love to hear some of your stuff (i never get to finish anything either
- heavy exam schedules)
but it would be cool to hear what direction you're going
anyway, its good to hear from fellow percussionists
respect
