Hi, 

  What do you mean by 'going ballistic'? Getting violent ? Going off on
people ?  It sounds like a combination of inspiration and frustration.

  Perhaps you should identify what it is esentially you would like to
accomplish and then try to find out what is available, what already exists.
By researching in this manner you have two chances at success. If you find
someone already realizing your highest ideals; perhaps you can make
friends.If no-one is accomplishing what you wish to happen, you may have
found your'niche'.

  It might be a good idea to just listen to things; sounds presented as
music and those just occurring normally throughout the course of
existence.This gives you an understanding of sound in a pure sense, distinct
from an attribute of cost, what gear is used , old , new and might help you
produce something you really want to hear.

  Also, it might be an idea to describe what you want in completely
extra-musical terms: What do the people look like ? What do they wear, eat ?
How do they perform ? Subtly ? Campy ? What is the dialogue like and how
long do they talk about things before accomplishing something ?

                           Bill
