This is really a familiar scenario for me too. Solo livecoding like this is difficult, it's much more relaxed in a collaborative situation - also with visuals the pressure is a little more tangible, with music it mixes together and nobody really knows whos responsible for which sounds. Restricting your options is a way to get through livecoder's block and have more fun in perfomance situations. cheers, dave
