The Pleasure of Digital Music

For many years, I believed that I could possibly be a music producer. However over time, I’ve found that my contribution to the digital scene wasn’t precisely the music itself. Though I used to be fortunate sufficient to supply a number of profitable tracks in Lithuania, again within the ‘90s, my precise achievement turned out to be elevating curiosity in digital music, for different younger individuals. I’m nonetheless stunned when somebody remembers my previous tracks, however I’m very proud when somebody tells me that listening to me converse on the radio about Berlin techno modified their desires again within the day. Later, within the 2000s, I used to be a part of the early SoundCloud crew. The code we wrote has touched lots of of thousands and thousands individuals around the globe. No monitor or track I might have ever produced would have had such an impact. There’s a purpose that Brian Eno says the evolution of music is moved by know-how as a lot as it’s by artists. The individuals who created Logic and Ableton, those that code SoundCloud and Spotify, design Korg and Roland synths, they affect the course of music on a large scale. The event of music know-how is the work of many individuals and I’m pleased to name myself one in all that gang.
This guide is a pure extension of these concepts. It’s not based mostly on scientific or journalistic analysis, but it surely’s not a biography, both. I think about this guide sitting on a studio desk, or in a gig bag. Within the course of, I hope that some younger music creators will discover solutions right here, and inspirations, to the questions they’ve been wrestling with for a very long time.
