yes the pounding techno beat are gone and the next CD (this winter) will 
feature accoustic guitar playing not looping but
I am still working on strange melodies sounds and processes (sounds more 
like Giacinto Scelsi than RF though...)

If I had to choose my audience I'll surely prefer the closed eyes one than

my edp is sync OFF as the sequ retrigers continuously there is no need to 
sync. I can even change tempo: if I go slower you may get into the loop 
playin 1 and some before the next fires. if I go faster it  just reads a 
part of the loop time
