I work with both audio and MIDI with nearly endless sampling and synthesizing capabilities, though I'm partial to the natural sound of real instruments. But to get synths to sound more 'human,'  it helps to use a MIDI drumset, MIDI guitar, and a Yamaha synth with breath controller.

Instruments: drums & percussion, guitars, bass-guitars, keyboards/synths, mandolin, violin, harmonica, & fine found objects. 

If you're a musician who works with MIDI, consider having your midi drums tracks done by a professional drummer on a full midi set, for integration with your synth system, or you can choose real acoustic drums delivered as a .wav file for insertion into your sequences. The same is offered for guitar, bass guitar, and keyboards.

Here's a compilation of my demos:

All selections composed, performed, recorded & mixed by Imre de Jonge except "Number 1" composed by Jim Lawlis; performed by Jim Lawlis & Imre de Jonge (prod.) and "Drowsie Maggie" (trad.; composer unkown)

"Hockey Night" lead & harmony vocals by Bronwyn Rose with background vocals by some family members.
