Back to Music

Time for another run at creating music. I play keyboards barely at a beginner's level, guitar barely at a beginner's level, and have a tolerable understanding of what they teach in the first two semesters of college level theory. I've wanted to do something with all that, but for various reasons, get discouraged in short order and put it back on the shelf.

I have a decade-old Takamine acoustic guitar, a several-year-old Casio keyboard, and MIDI cables connecting the keyboard to my Linux box. I have Rosegarden and PureData/PD installed (among other things like Hydrogen and I think FreeBase), but have done very little with any of them.

So anyway, this blog will chronicle what I'm doing. I hope to use it to share what I'm learning, in theory, gear, software and the mental processes that I'm using to make beautiful (ahem) music.
