I told my friend I was learning music. She asked what I was trying to learn, so I said music. She asked what in specific, so I gave her the current list. She thinks I’m kidding.
- Guitar
- Ukulele
- Piano
- Music theory
- Reading music
- Finger drumming
- Abelton
- Renoise
- Bitwig
- Maschine
- Pigments
- Buttersynth
- Deluge
- Minifreak
- Polyend Play
- Polyend Tracker
- Dirtywave M8
- Chompi
- Abelton Note
- Koala
- Loopy Pro
Those are the things I’m actively working on with a laundry list of other things for later. The moment I get a little bored with one thing, I jump to another.
Physical training is mainly focused on strings (guitar, ukulele, bass, etc), piano and finger drumming. The strings I am focused on are all physically the same instrument, or close enough, to where the skills translate easily. Piano is a necessity for my interest in synths but I am.not gunning for physical proficiency as I am with strings, just enough to play a few scales and chord. I can fix my mistakes in the DAW. The real struggle is with finger drumming. That might take me years.
