[sdiy] Few newbie question

[James Petts]

Hi Scott

Most of the stuff I have done has been stuff I've found on the web:
I'm not an electronics genius by any means, and wouldn't feel
capable yet of designing my own stuff. Thanks for your mods, by
the way: very much appreciated.

I've done some of yours, a couple from John Sepulveda, and some
other stuff as well that I can't remember whose it is off the top of
my head.

The sort of sounds I am interested in a modular for are dense multi-
layered things with drones and slowly changing and buildingtonal
components: think Godspeed, or Stereolab on Quaaludes...

On top of that I'm also interested in experimenting with atonal and
rhythm-compromised noises too.

I do techno/trance etc stuff as well, but for that I'm using samples
from my Fatman and Theremin to supply the raw material for my
Korg Electribes and Yamaha grooveboxes.

James
