    Can I….. make music?

    The short answer is no… or not yet.

    The story begins in around 30 yeras ago when I went to demoparties in first years and shortly realized that I couldn’t create anything at all. (but I desired to do that). (That’s why I chose party organizing and it seemed the infodesk was perfect for me, but that’s another story). However that feeling that creating something was buried deep inside me.

    Now back to the present times… 2 weeks ago I surfing on internet and saw a video by Devin Townsend (who is everybody’s favourite Disney princess, and we should protect him at all cost!), after that something shifted inside me and decided that I wanna learn that skill. Because nobody born that way that he/she knows how can make music. The following day I downloaded one of the program, tons of VSTi, and bought a Korg nanoKEY Studio. When I have spare time and have a right mood, I play with it. But for now I’m in a preparing period, and I know that my journey will be veeeery long (maybe years) until I upload my first song on the internet.

    I analized myself that what happened in my teenage years when I entered the demoscene. My friends created so many things (music, graphic, coding) and I didn’t, because I wasn’t a competitive type of person. I didn’t want that e.g. 300 random sceners flame my first music or watching music compos without my music (just because there was prejury and my music wasn’t good enough), plus I was a bit introvert that time, I knew that I cound’t bear it.

    If I remove that thing from the equation that’s the perfect reason and the purpose for me. Making music without the fear from getting critics from my friends or random ppl.
