I know I said I would stop it. But the main thing that was stopping me before was I felt sorta limited in just using guitar. I would revert to Frippertronic rip-offs. But I'm thinking of incorporating the moog and the laptop into the setup via the mixer, maybe sending the guitar through it too with an amp modeler or something, and hooking it up through the house PA system.
When I talked to Chris, Nick and Dean about this, I said that it's pretty much in the can for right now, but I'm getting that itch to do solo sets again. I said to them that I'm not really breaking new ground at every show, and some of the improvisations were actually just pieces I had rehearsed for 30 seconds to remember them, and just see where they go from there.
But Nick busted my balls about how I'm not breaking new ground every show. And I thought, why should I have to? I like playing them (sometimes, if the vibe is right) and I have fun (sometimes), so why should I beat myself over not sounding different every night?

Congratulations, you've discovered one of the dangers of improvising. Thinking that it has to be different every time. And while we're on the subject, did you ever read and/or finish the Derek Bailey book?
