The 12th is my Birthday which will be spent working on the most boring work I have ever had.

I'm guessing your 12th will be more interesting

Yowza! Congrats dude!!!

Background:
Back in the early 80's a friend loaned me his ARP 2600, knowing that I played keyboards. I didn't know anything about synthesis and to me it sounded like just so much noise.

I never took the considerable challenge of learning subtractive synthesis, which I regret, it would have more fully embraced my sound designer talent. To be in my 20s and drawn to that flame would have been awesome. But all the same, I'm glad I didn't get into it back then- analog synthesis in the late 70's, 80's was ridiculously expensive and fiddly. Are there improvements with your new baby made for stabilizing pitch?

It's curious that I'm a musician and not a graphic designer. Learning the piano as a kid was great, taking lessons for 5 years starting at 7, I had a long stretch of enthusiastic practice and application. But since then it's been rare for me to be going for it. I sound like someone in need of a project!

But I've had that moth to flame many many times with graphics, it seems easier to come by- like obsessing over the layout of a newsletter. I wish my capability of never-ending focus happened more often with music.
----------

How about yourself. Why the 2600? - Are you an avid voltage tweaker? - Is it all about the compelling challenge of doing sound design for different projects? - What motivates you to be so hands on and building sound from the ground up?

And what effects are you using? Hardware, DAW?

Any cool projects to motivate?
