All instruments are run through Live...we start with NO pre-recorded samples or loops, opting to create them on the fly using live-looping techniques we're worked on since Live ver. 1.5

Its a GREAt way to go, costs a bundle to do it right and is more addictive than heroin, nicotine and alchohol combined!

Really great sound, man. Very nice.

i use ableton in my performances, and rarely use loops or sequences, all the sounds/samples/vsti's and effects are triggered by live drums via midi sensors, or distance sensors, treated with the ableton midi effects ( random/chords etc) i use ableton in completely 'free' improvisations and don't stick to a tempo or use a click ( not that i could stick to a click anyway....)

Interesting work. Tell me more!

What are the sensors sensing? I know there are sensors that can detect a wide variety of changes in various mediums.

I'm going to check out your site.
