The content of the musical structures (sound design, melodies, harmonies etc) are created from "scratch". In other words no pre-existing audio or MIDI sounds or loops are used in the creation of the music.
The rest of the music is a blend of improvisation and structure and is performed in real-time. The basic musical ideas are built in the studio and then dozens of audio events (or clips) are created for each piece. The audio events are triggered and manipulated via 36 foot switches and 16 faders along with real time synthesis played from an EWI4000S and MIDI keyboard.
Consequently, in performance, the content of each piece of music remains the same but the structure varies each time a piece is played depending on my mood and the environment. This allows me to interact creatively with the audience and have more personal expression.
