Studio recording - breaking patterns - ideas?

["David Kirkdorffer" <vze2ncsr@verizon.net>]

Hi -

I'm going into studio next weekend to record.  Over the years I've fallen
into patterns.  I'd like to try something different.

Past efforts can be heard here: http://www.myspace.com/undomusic

And this is a great community for sharing ideas.  What are some concepts or
strategies you've used to break out of your patterns?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

David
