or were you just unexplainably compelled to do it? |

I downloaded loads of music programs and VSTs that enabled me to replicate Autechre and Aphex badly. |

unexplainably compelled to do it. mind you, if it wasn't music, it would have been writing or drawing or video stuff. It's a love-hate relationship of course, especially as it involves the opinions of other people, which aren't always positive. i suppose you could just make music for yourself, but that's a bit like masturbation: it's not as good as the real thing, which involves sharing the experience with other people. |

it was a natural progression from making noise. |

is it cool to pick on amateur musicians? does it give you a big boner or something |

yeah for me its this weird cycle that was started when i got an sp-303, namely when found out i could record loops , just a weird cycle that hasnt lost its energy yet. i didnt know anything about how to make tracks before i got it |

Although I've taught myself some relatively difficult piano pieces, this electronic music thing seems so out of reach. I don't know how some of the people on this board do what they do in this field. I just wouldn't know where to start, what to use, or what to do. But I'll get into it sooner or later, I suppose. |

I wanted to be a badass rockstar. |
||||||||
|
|

My dad plugged my second keyboard into a tape recorder, and since then I've been recording. |

my bro made music for ages. then i started using fruity loops and made a simple (crap) beat and was like 'FUCK this fun'. since then ive just been doing stuff sending it to friends. im not very experimental or anything but everynow and then i'll try simple things that are totally new to me. ivebeen doing stuff for year or so, and ivebeen gradually getting better, so it only makes sense to keep doing stuff. |

i studied violin and piano, then quit, then after 5 years of not playing i decided to record ('Spoken Word') parts of school textbook which i modified using razor and pen, then i remembered that there is a piano standing in the dining room and i know aaa bit about it and i have 2 tape recorders to do overdubs (didn't know this word then) and so i started to record smth, recalling how to play piano, learning guitar, singing and drumming on everything and so on and SO ON. years passed and i met computers. years passed and I even bought one. |

My friend noticed that I started taking a liking to electronica and sent me some midi maker program. It was a shit little music maker but I got the jist of it and downloaded FL3 in 2002. Still use it today, haven't even upgraded to 6. I can do anything with FL3. |

I had an epiphany in which God told me to dedicate my life spreading the Word of Jesus Christ through the medium of bedroom IDM. |

I was a big a fan of avantgarde music and noise and I decided that I could easily make some noise myself, just for fun. Then I realized how pretentious and boring the music was and some nice people thaught me the ways of techno and braindance. From that point I just kept making tracks over and over again for a year and a half to learn what everything(reverb, delay, eq, compressor, synths, bla bla) did, then I read some theory and after a while I got interested in vintage gear. Here I am today, still just a nobody on the internet. :D |

Me and a mate just messing around with soundrecorder in windows. We realised we could make music with it and just sort of took it from there. Then I got a demo of Re-birth on a magazine cover and that blew our minds. |

I took up the challenge to see if somebody with no musical ability whatsoever could create the best record in the world. What I didn't factor in, all those years ago at the start, was a debilitating sense of utter hopelessness. Still, as Beckett wrote "I can't go on, I'll go on" to which I'd add, "I mean, you might as well". |

because i wanted to be a rockstar. i got into electronic music in the days of fruityloops 1 and rebirth because i got sick of playing in bands. ie, rehearsals, unreliabilaty etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Excatly the same as ceri!!! only i got Cooledit. My first years of electronic music i didnt have a sequencer at all, i strictly used cooledit, so it was some pretty fucked up music. Eventually got Fruityloops wich i use to this date, and love it. |

Also, i've always as a child been put of by the music lessons in school. I actually thought music was boring as fuck (as a subject) but when i was about 14 i think, i listened to the prodigy for the first time and it blew me away. Then i listened to Aphex, and it blew me completely away. I never understood how he created the sounds, and like, the TECHnology behind the music. I guess i was sort of curious of that as well. |

I initially did it for a school project. I stopped a year ago because I didn't have the second half of dog belch's quote |

i was lying in bed one night, half awake, and in the shadows, i saw something move. i was startled, jumped and wanted to shout out "what the fuck was that?" but, maybe it was the fear, maybe it was the state of mind, i instead blurted out "what the beat?" and the dream was born |

|
i started to write music cos i can get famous and rich and get loadsa bitches |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i think my first electronic music was around 1985 with a Commodore VIC*20 -- i always liked beeps! but around 1998 is when i found the DOS app Impulse Tracker and started to write beats - have been playing bass for 12 years too, mostly in the same band from high school |

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno, to be honest. well, i guess it's because it's fun. and it's nice to look back on too. |
||||||||

i did it for the lack of bitches |

i had piano and cornet lessons when i was a nipper but found the whole process of practicing scales etc to get grades boring and so quit. i started messing with a saxaphone and guitar as well but never got anywhere with them and so kind of gave up on making music. when i was 15 i ran away from home and ended up living with my cousin for a bit who, having already introduced me to some awesome music when i was younger, broadened my horizons even further and i got into making loops with field recordings and eventually instruments moving on to FL a few years ago. at 23 I am now attending music college and am so broke i cant even afford a midi controller or to pay my rent. music sucks. |

Oh, yes. What about timestretching? Do you use any external plugin for it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I actually use cool edit pro 2 also.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My only music making experience was with Ejay about 4 years ago, and I laugh when I listen to it. I haven't got the patience to start making it properly, I prefer listening to an unhealthy amount of other peoples shit. |
