No, no. You're supposed to play a synth with your fingers, not a horse-hair bow.Linuxmusician01 wrote: I like to fiddle with synthesizers

Number 1 priority (after children, significant others etc...obviously)
Too late to make a career of it but my real job basically subsidizes my music and software pursuits and I plan to play live, write songs and record them until they pry the telecaster out of my cold dead fingers..

Re: What place does music hold in your life?
In some ways, I think this might be the case for many teenagers for which music is really the only door to transcendence or spirituality in our materialistic culture. At least it was: modern mainstream music is getting more and more materialistic, not just in terms of lyrics (folk music from the pre-recording era was often not much better!) but also in terms of the music itself (with all the "perfection" that comes with extreme post-processing of performances and digital plugins). That's why many a youth are listening to old music on streaming platforms.
In my teen years, music was everything. Now I can't quite understand what place it holds in my life, that's why I opened this thread

Re: What place does music hold in your life?
As far back as I can remember I would hum or sing to myself, and when I was about 4 I 'discovered' the old piano in the lounge. No other member of the family had any interest in music, which created some 'issues', but it became obvious that this was just a part of me and wasn't a fad that would go away, so I did get some piano lessons, and a degree of acceptance. Poor old dad. He never did understand how I could get equal enjoyment from music and engineering

I love how Linux gives me the freedom to customize my system and make it work exactly the way I want it to. I also love that it's open source and I can take part in its development. Plus, I can use it for recording and producing music with some great tools like Audacity, Ardour, and JACK. I'm also a big fan of the command line and all the powerful tools available.
Re: What place does music hold in your life?
I'm a BA in music as well for voice. I'm basically the go-to for all of my friends both male and female when it comes to discovering music. They call me the musical guru and I usually provide the music for road trips and get-togethers.
