Hello again.. |
 |
|
I allready tried this, but lost my post!?
Well, I am Alexander, I'm dutch, I live in The Hague.. 25 years old, etcetera..
After running into this forum a couple of times surfing google results I deicided it's time to register. The general attitude towards electronic music on this site is more appealing to me than on other fora I visit.
I'm a first year student at the sonology institute and I have a little experience in studio recording. At the moment I am learning MAX/MSP, the nord modular and applying various software to my setup such as the AC toolbox. I have a long way to go and I feel that I reached a point in life where a lot of things (in making electro-acoustic music) are making sense. Now all I have to do is learn and this forum looks like a good place to do so..
I have no musical training apart from some bass lessons and besides the bassguitar I don't really play any instrument. I am in a punkrockband and well that's also the reason for me to put music as my #1 priority.. not thinking but rocking for the last 11 years with those guys tought me a lot about how much fun music is and should be, I am always looking for that punkrock approach in my peronal music.
Poeh, what a story, well I will be reading and hopefully learning,
greetings,
Alexander |

I'm too old for punk rock music, but I like it anyway. It is interesting - there is a bit of an underground punk movement here in Allentown. You know, people organize secret concerts in abandoned ware houses. Very illegal. Anyhow, the people that put these on and attend are very open to experimental music of all sorts. They aren't committed to the usual drum, bass, guitar, singer ensemble. _________________ --Howard

Hello everybody!
Thanks for a warm welcome! I posted a link to a bit of my music in the 'online music' forum and I've been scrolling along. Great site!

To comment on the statement above, This is exactly what I mean by a 'punkrock' (fill in whatever you like) attitude towards music. I was 14 when I started going to shows and a lot changes when you get a bit older, but I learned that the intensity and fun of those shows mixed with a proper amount of social criticism and interests for art gave me more inspiration and energy then anything I ever did. I think a number of the above ingredients have been changed to ego and blind consumerism, but that only gives me more to write songs about!
It's basically a fun movement and in essence a great way to celebrate music.. I am still desperately searching for elements of that in modern acedemic music.
I have to draw a line here, because I could turn this into a 10 page essay, but this is not the place.
