[edit] how do you mean then? i've only played with 'live' bands, no sequencing, u know?
so what do you mean, like building sets? one thing that's no good is long gaps between numbers no matter what style. BUT then again if you make it look like you've got a set 'set' order and just do it too 'slick', ie the gaps are too short, then audience ppl (over here anyway) tend too feel they've got no space for their input, which counts 4 a lot. you've got to include the audience, it's not like dj'ing with records for 2 hours.

But since you ask, why don't you describe some of your techniques... only seems fair and might be interesting to read.

My friend and I do a mixture of improvising and using programmed bits...we have songs, but inbetween them we do little segues and transitions.
For drums we use two Korg ES-1's synced up with my old MMT8. For live tweakability they are dope...you can change patterns on the fly and tweak fx, all that in realtime. Most of our songs we each have patterns that we contribute and most of the synth stuff is done live, though the MMT8 will do a bassline if one of us is particularly busy with drum stuff...It's a pretty flexible setup for us, especially if one of us wants to spin some different stuff in...
If anyone's interested, you can check out an mp3 of us doing a live track at:
