Repetition was never a good friend of mine, for bad or worse. And I've been in a deep improv-pit for the past years, doing several performances where I start with an empty tracker in front of an audience. Then you kind of have to make these long organic flows of sounds (see 2SLEEP1) instead of songs with recurring parts. So then everything is live - sound programming and composing. That defMON-tracker kind of pushed me in that direction, so this mostly goes for my C64-music.
But also with the pop stuff (mostly Amiga or Renoise), I started to do similar things. On the Breakfast EP the beta version is a kind of don't-delete-anything tracking style. And then for the main version I just removed all the bullshit. Other times, the songs are like this because the visuals was asking for it. Oso and Dansa In are soundtracks to C64-demos, so they were made in tandem with the visuals.
Atm, I'm trying to compose megamixes instead of songs, which is also a fun way of escaping the terror of SONG. Or, perhaps I start with a jam and then edit it and add stuff on top of it (here come the swans). Or, just track songs like a normal person.
So, uhm, my process in general = Almost everything is programmed/tracked either live or ... not live. Sometimes, mostly for quirky skweee stuff, I record some qwerty-jams live to get the right hobo feeling. It's great that Renoise can record that without strict quantization. So I don't have to spend hours on making things sound wrong...
EDIT: Just realised I already did that megamix composing thing like 10 years ago with Monkeywarning. Damnit.
