How would you categorise your musical output?

I try to keep my beats cutting edge , fresh and experimental , whilst retaining a firm grip on evocative melodies.
I've been told my material sounds like black dog / plaid , which isnt a deliberate thing although ive definitely been influenced by them..
I guess its IDM / electronica.
I tend not to listen to a huge amount of electronica , and it keeps my ideas fresh and original , and im taking water from my own well ..
I'm usually working on about 30 tracks at any given time

What are your favourite pieces of studio hardware?

my m-audio oxygen49 keyboard. Its the only piece of outboard gear i have , but thats set to change. My next purchase will be a pair of flat response active nearfield monitors , and a laptop which i'll be using for live work , sometime within the year.......

Which Digital Audio Workstation application do you use?

I made my DAW myself using an empty cornflakes packet , some playdoh , 2 carrots , a pocket calculator , and some anti-histamine tablets , wired directly to my synapses to reflexively make fukt-up music in an intuitive way.

. Its a closely guarded secret.

What's your favourite digital instrument?
