This one's optimistic.

I feel a change coming on in my musical direction. As I learn more and more about synthesis and drone music, I've been getting more experimental in my writing... almost nothing I write anymore sounds like traditional pop-rock or straight jazz. The probem with this is that I am pretty limited in my ability to do these things as I have limited equipment. I do have my Juno-D, which I'm going to become much more friendly with this summer. We'll see what happens.

On a similar note: I've been realizing that Kid A is one of the most beautiful albums ever written.

I have a Juno-D too! I've never really used it to perform live but it has some great sounds for recording. What type of experimental/drone music do you like? You should really check out Steve Reich. He's more or less like the father of that genre. It's not really electronica, but that many electronic musicians were inspired by him. I saw him in concert w/ Pat Metheny and the Chronos Quartet. It was quite incredible.
