Your musical background

[apple-joe]

Great discussion. I discovered modules a few years before the new millenium. At first I was convinced that I'd never learn how to compose such good sounding music.

However, I came up with an idea. I was desperate. I admired the authors of the music. I thought that if I chose a module I liked, and made a copy of it (in which I removed all the notes), I could LOOK at the original song, while typing in the notes from that song in the - now empty - file. This way I learned how the tracker thought. I re-created his/her work (and then deleting it), and saw how the process worked.

I think that's what got me started really. I learned some things by this. Then I continued experimenting on my own. I actually made some experimental (still very amateur) but sincere pieces, before I more or less quit.

It was all very spare-time oriented. Never attended any music lessons.

Then I bought a guitar in 2002. After learning it, MODplug tracking came a lot easer and was interesting again. THEN, I learned music theory, and now everything makes sense. Still, I haven't uploaded any music for review, and I have been very on/off regarding tracking. I think it's the last year or year+few months I've created quite some tracks.

To me the Crystal Method sounds like fake Chemical Brothers.

According to Kazaa, what's the difference?  Ever song in the world was written by both.  lol

And, no.  I hate kazaa.

To me it's two dirrent styles of music even if they are close Anyway my personal favorites from both of them are The Crystal Method - Keep hope alive and The Chemical Brothers - Setting sun!

Damn I'm off topic again...  :oops:
