The Art of Creation

I'm not going to be melodramatic: I have not always felt a desire to make music. I enjoyed playing Alto Saxophone in grade school and middle school, but it was always a side hobby, not something I was seriously interested in. In the early years of high school, I thought I was really interested in it, and signed up for a music theory class. The class didn't run, and I ended up not pursuing it any further.

Recently though, I've found the time and the creative energy to make music, and it has been an incredibly gratifying experience. The key to this has been my computer. Using music production software has freed me from my somewhat-lacking technical skill with the guitar and has allowed me to translate the music straight from my head. I've been using it for about a month now, and although I have only finished two songs since then, that has more to do with my own sort-of-perfectionist nature than a lack of creation. I have plenty more on the way, but if you'd like to hear what I have so far, check out my Soundcloud.
