Working It Out

The bizarre week has taken it's toll and frankly I am tried of it. So let's get back to the music.

As you all know, I bought a Kaossilator. I hooked it up to the computer and went to town on it for a few hours on Sunday. Like anything new, I practiced and tried out a few things. As I played, I soon realized that like anything, I would need a Hell of a lot of practice. I think many people think when they get something, it will be easy and they can just create. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Here is a clip from my first session.



Terrible, right? Well what did you expect from my first time out, a symphony? All jokes aside, I will need more practice and I will post clips of my sessions and you can tell me if I am getting better or worse. The cool thing about recording the sessions is that I can take them apart in SoundForge and find usable samples so I can still mix them into my music. This will create the unique sound I am trying to achieve.

Like everything, it will be work. But it is work I am looking forward to. I have talked to NovaBelle and she will also begin teaching me piano. I will try to get some clips of that in the near future. I will not be spending my life doing all of this but I must dedicate at least 30 minutes to an hour a week to the piano and 2 hours a week to my music. I know it will be tough but I wont run.

I just have to work it all out.
