Things to get interested in

Hope

I need a new interest, something to get engrossed in, that involves facts. I need to get so obsessed that it overshadows my horrible anxieties. An absorbing special interest is probably the best anxiety cure for myself that I can think of. When I used to have obsessions, in the Titanic, for instance, I had fewer anxieties.

What things are you interested in? What do you find absorbing and why?

    Hi Silver100,

    What sort of music would you like to make? What sort of music do you like listening to?

    Hi Jon,

    I mostly listen to instrumental classical and jazz. I like layers of sound, I don’t really like words with music, though there are pop songs I have liked over the years.  There was very little music in my house as a child, I got interested listening to the music in films on Saturday afternoon and theme tunes for TV programmes, which has been my only exposure the electronic music, except more recently I have watched some youtube videos.  I would like to be able to change the parameters of the sound and create new sounds and ways of combining them in music.

    This morning I watched the video of the launch of ‘Ableton Live 9’ which looks impressively flexible on what can be done with the sound.  I would like to use samples of “physical instruments” (orchestral, percussion, electric guitar) as well as the synthesised sounds. I think these can be bought as add-ins. Have you heard the Ableton ones?  I think it was a Roland video I saw once where you can assemble an instrumental section and determine the characteristic of the instrument and playing style for each member of the section but they had, so far, only done this for brass. I think it was only available for one of their top-end keyboards.

    What music do you listen to?
