I love music and i love being creative.
I also love every aspect of music technology, be it creaky, dusty analogue gubbins to my hyper sleek super computer.
And it's fun.

I'm compelled to, not because I think people will like it, or that women will think I'm cool, or that it will make me famous or any of that.
IRL I'm a loner to a degree, and I make music for the wallflowers, the rejects and losers. It's a sort of meme/parenting to have kids love your music and to let them know that they're not alone, other people feel like they do. Also, it's like sculpting, I chip away the ideas I think come from a basic melody, and when the vocalist and drummer finalize their parts, it's as good as sex to me, seriously, no better rush than to hear a concept become a full blown song.

Seriously I wish sometimes music was something less esoteric for me, that it was about getting laid etc. but that's not the case, and it's a sad fact of life that most of my girlfriends have had little interest in the sort of aggressive music I like, and generally like indie rock etc. I would rather stab out my eyes with ice picks than play indie rock. :?
