Finding A Style

Finding a style for the album I'm creating is very difficult to decide on. The previous recordings I've produced tended to be more electronic than acoustic, but some days I will listen to Ozric Tentacles and Tangerine Dream, other days The Grateful Dead and Donovan.

What I would like to do for this album is mix both the styles. I think I would like to be more acoustic with the songs and use guitar or piano to create the foundations. But I do like effects, and now with the looping capabilities and midi guitar I should be able to create many sounds live rather than rely on overdubs and sampling.

One thing's for sure, there are no rules.
