someone posted this vid on gearslutz the other day. This ted talk is about an artist whos hand becomes damaged and inspires him to 'embrace the shake' and work within limitations to create amazing works of art... this way of working as youll see can easily be applied to beat making whether limiting yourself to use only one bit of equipment, a time limit or something like using one short sample to make a whole beat including percussion etc... watch this vid dont miss out.
