always a dream. I usually end up listening on cheap computer
   speakers or basic headphones. Had an audiophile friend who
   recorded some of my piano stuff back in the early 1990s. He knew
   how to set up mics and had the equipment to play it back. UGH, I
   sounded amazing on them. Oh well Imagination -* the mind's ear
   has to fill in the gaps. It's the only way* :) ==
   The most important thing to me,- is capturing it in the first
   place and hanging on to it somehow.

   ancient cassette tapes held the only evidence of computer music
   I made back in 1984 at the age of 12. It was in stereo but I
   didn't have a stereo cassette recorder. So, all I have is the
   left channel. But, I caught it, saved it, brought it forward in
   time 32 years so it could live again.

   Am I proud of it? Damn right I am.

   == *I had to program each sound shape through setting up numbers
   manually knowing NOTHING about the significance of what I was
   _really_ doing enough to be amazed by it. Now I'm amazed*tongue

   == I always wanted the c64 - they had extensive sound
   capabilities. Funny thing is, I never got into MIDI. It was
   similar to programming sounds in BASIC and on the "orchestra
   90-CC" on my Tandy Color Computer 2, but Itjust didn't care much
   for it. It had less control over the actual waves in the ways
   that I liked. But now I have Audacity. Love using that. Had fun
   with a Korg-MS-2000 that's been collecting dust for too long as
   well. == So much fun that's possible. I never got into the
   tracker-style way of making music. Tried it, didn't like it.
   Tried Fruityloops as well, didn't care for it. Some of it was
   too tedius for me, although I _could_ learn it if I wanted to
   badly enough. I found I liked either: programming it in text and
   having it play, or doing something live but I didn't doing
   things that required a whole lot of preparation time. I like
   fast feedback*smile emoticon Nowadays I mostly mess around with
   other ppls music just because it's easier*tongue emoticon  == *I
   don't spent a lot of time with things. I get a thought, I cobble
   it together, post it somewhere as fast as I can. But if I had a
   keyboard with lots of tweaky settings, I'd sit there for hours
   just playing and fiddling around and seeing what it can do. ==
   hanks*grin emoticon*Most of what I've done is ridiculous,
   sloppy,
   unedited.*[1]https://soundcloud.com/kenneth-udut/cognitive-1*i'd
   just sit for hours just playing and playing and playing. Never
   could figure out how to cut things up into pieces, figure out
   what's good, what's bad - how to name songs.. how to promote
   them, what they were about.... This is a chunk from a long
   playing session when I had my Korg MS-2000 setup.... sheesh, 11
   yrs ago I guess.* These days I think I mostly make Vines -
   12,000 of them so far about whatever. Some are music, but mostly
   just me expressing whatever I feel like in 6.8 seconds or less.
   Got totally hooked on it 2.5 yrs ago. I guess I just "making"
   stuff, whatever it is === and thanks for indulging me*[2]Saf
   Aslam*- I don't usually talk about stuff I made 'cause it's
   never "good enough" but I like sticking it out there online.
   Feels like I did _something_ productive with it*smile emoticon
   == *Well thank you Saf*smile emoticon*I was supposed to go to
   Julliard music school when I was 11... special lessons and
   stuff... then told my mom, "No, please". I could feel their need
   for perfection would drive me nuts.. and I didn't want the life
   of playing the same music over and over and over and over again
   to increasing levels of perfection.... even at 11, I just saw a
   dark, fixed future that I didn't want. She agreed. Glad too. I
   would've survived, but I think I'd been miserable more often
   than not. == that's one of these scenes I could _really_ get
   into... I try hard to avoid going full on into subcultures
   'cause whenever I do, I don't come up for air for a long time
   sometimes*smile emoticon*But Vaporware is definitely the kind of
   thing I could see myself doing... obsessively...*tongue emoticon
   == whatever the genre, there's disrespect from elsewhere. I
   respect all forms of music, from the obscure all the way to
   heavily promoted pop culture. Music deserves my respect,
   whatever its form, whoever makes it, however it turns out.
   There's rain falling here right now - it's generating patterns -
   gaps, overtones, echos - while I'm listening to
   this:[3]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBvR3iqTKEo*- a random
   vaporware that popped up - and hearing the beeps of my Facebook
   notifications. While I'm deaf in 1 ear and the only good ear
   goes up to 5000 hz, what I hear in my head as it all combines
   together is both an experience I can't describe.... and it also
   is a continual reminder for me to never disrespect someone
   else's taste in music... because there's no way to know how
   sound patterns can move someone. ==
