I cannot open the attachment for some or other reason but I saw some of your gear on your homepage. Sorry, but it's not my cup of tea. A lot of people are creating this sort of music these days and they are all starting to sound the same (just my opinion). There seems to be no creativity with regard to melody, movement & harmony. It's always just a beat with a synth riff instead of a melody and it never seems to go in any direction - just an endless repetitive beat. Don't get me wrong, I like electronic music and love dabbling with synths (both hardware and software), but I find people are lacking the creative element. I am an old fart so I like old school electronica. Jean Michel Jarre's compositions are like classical works performed with electronics and have yet to hear something from the new generation of electronic artists that comes anywhere close. Let me try to put it as simply as I can - we are still at the stage where the technology is creating the music instead of the musician using the technology to create the music. Why do people look at BPM all the time. They start of a new composition by loading a template with (x) BPM instead of thinking of what the music is supposed to represent. Music has to flow and ebb, and not be static - stuck in one beat all the time.
