Notice you don't really use a guitar in your compositions? Any specific reason why or just preference? Maj 7, Min 7, add 9, add 7 chords can all sound really groovy with the right tone :D
i love guitars just as much as anyone, but when i make records it's all midi. a midi-only approach is the only thing that makes sense for me. i've been doing it since i was 10, and it is a drastically more efficient use of my particular skill sets, and also given the fact that i'm working by myself.
