why aren't all instruments as easy to play as kazoos
-
@augustus I don't think I'm musically-inclined. I have tried learning a musical instrument a few times and absolutely hated the experience. I don't hear or feel music in my head in any way. I have only recently had the ability to break apart music in my head and hear the pieces separately and it got me kind of interested again. basically i want a way to experiment that is more methodical.

@Moon you mean like Renoise? that's beyond my paygrade. i bet its good if you want to do Venetian Snares type stuff. my feeling is music comes from inside and should have as few technical barriers between you and the output as possible, and overly programmatic stuff will get in the way of that, unless that's what you're aiming for. i.e. bands like Autechre just build semi-automatic sound modules and then press execute and a randomly generated album comes out the other end

@Moon they are if you don't quit

@augustus I did the math and it told me I should learn how to use a tracker if I want to make music.

@shmibs @augustus I don't like thinking I literally can't do it, I didn't figure it was that bad.
-
@Moon @augustus at least this paper and the things it's quoting seem to indicate "won't really have the same experience of it as other people do, imagery/感動, but can still learn to perform music with practice"?
-
@shmibs @augustus welp
-
@shmibs @augustus sure but if you can't access large parts of its meaning that other people feel, will you ever care enough? I still like music but I don't seem to be able to create new sounds in my head.

@Moon @augustus ah mmmwell but everyone has something though, i guess. here sound-imagery is extremely vivid, recreate accents / listen songs / randomly hear bits of things from 15 years ago etc, so can't really imagine being withoutbut then visual side is pretty poor, so probably missing a lot there
