Re:Ask HN: Do you create music? let's hear it on Monday March 08, 2021 @08:23PM (#26394158)
I’ve recently been delving into solo composition and production after being part of a rock band for the better part of my musical “career” due to the pandemic. Modular synthesizers have opened up a whole new manner of thinking in regards to creating music, and I’ve been having a blast trying to understand this new paradigm - https://open.spotify.com/artist/24DaBLXr68RdgcQ9HZM1CZ?si=jk...

Which teasers/subjects in particular pique your interest? As an amateur musician, I've found it's been well-worth the subscription I split with a friend during a recent pricing special due solely to having certain classes inspire me through some ruts. Otherwise, I'd imagine it'd be a hard sell without having a field you're wanting to dig into in mind that doesn't already have a bevy of content on the site.
Do you have any personal experience in doing so? They seem like tempting projects from the outset, but getting started with some clear goals in mind, alongside philosophical/idealistic differences from what's already out there so you're not simply rewriting something for the sake of it has prevented me from getting too far down a particular rabbit-hole.

A tad basic, but mine at https://www.jeremycantu.com tries to do the whole "multi-discipline" angle with that toggle in the center, which I thought might be a neat element for folks with varying creative pursuits.
