2/9/2002
I hereby announce my resignation from the creation of electronic music.
This is a hard decision I have come to, and has been forced upon me by a myriad of factors, some of which are listed below.
· My left leg hurts profoundly when I’m on the computer due to positioning
· RSI in my right arm prevents me from using the mouse for any significant period of time.
· Prolonged sessions in front of monitors has left me with a ‘dry-eyes’ condition
· Windows ME crashes very, very, very often. This is very demoralising and frankly, quite insulting. Even though I have now put a 1.1Ghz CPU in I am still experiencing the same problems of the PC crashing too often.
· I have come to the slight conclusion that no electronic musician will ever be considered very seriously, and that if total world domination is required, acoustic instruments must be implemented and new skills learnt.
I shall therefore be concentrating on learning the Piano, and maybe later the guitar.
I shall sorely miss the exclusion of creating this music in my life as I have been doing it since I was 14.
Wish me luck!
:-)

If you can play a piano you can also play a synth(with keyboard), right? You don't need a computer to make electronic music...

that's the idea robert del naja (massive attack) had/worked on
to sample a piano that turns into a guitar sound or something alike

good luck, nonetheless.
