Well I am starting to play chords at the moment to get the feel of them, plus I have edited a few sounds to my likeing. Mostly doing atmosphers, just letting my mind flow freely, and listening to the chord changes and slow progressions. Mostly I am useing string sounds to create the effects that I want. Ed was right as long as I don't over anaylize my playing it does tend to come naturally. If I do this sort of playing for a couple of minutes a day I might be able to star getting a little more chorent structure. Right now it's mostly randomness, though I have managed to work a few pieces out, though not sounding just right. It's mostly experimental. I am still trying to devlope my particular style of music. I don't want to go the tradiotnal route of playing, becuse that is makeing me more frustrated and discourageing. If I break away from this I am able to come up with what i want. Though I would not really consider it music, more like sound paintings. At the present I am making my music the same way Jackson Pollock painted.


There are some other sound areas I do want to explore and different ways of createing my sound scapes. I know it's not Depeche Mode or Jean- Michale Jarre. And I would not lable it New Age. It's really hard to explain. It would be more like let the listener draw their own conclusions. If you have ever listend to early electroinc music from the 1940's 50's 60's and 70's you might get a hint of what I am createing. Don't expect anything spectaular, If you try to breakdown or even anaylize my music. Forget it! Becuse It is never played the same way twice. Even though my mind is a blank I just let my brain waves speak for themselves.


So for right now I am just createing sonic sound paintings.


I would also like to explore ryhtms and drum beats. I may eventually get a Roland MC-303. Sampleing has fascinated me as well.
