I bought a synthesizer: the Arturia Microfreak

I've always loved music. I played trumpet for 12 years during school. I was in jazz band too.

I love electronic music but never learned about the tools of the trade. I played around in FL Studio but working in a DAW always feels so limiting. Lately, musical tools have gotten so powerful and relatively inexpensive and there is so much content on YouTube to help me learn that I feel like it will be easy for me to pick up an instrument like this and really use it.

I don't know what I'm going to make. I actually wanted a synth so I could make SFX for #ONOSENDAI. But I want to make music too.

There are so many people on YouTube who make silly minute-long off-the-cuff songs for fun and I'll get them stuck in my head for days. Creators like this have inspired me to simply create something and put it out there. It doesn't matter if it's perfect or not. Somebody will appreciate it.

It seems wrong that I've been away from music for so long. I'm excited to come back to it. #grownostr
