You really shouldn't listen to this, it's not quite ready, it's too long, and it makes no sense.

Oh, you're still reading? What, you're even LISTENING to this?

Context

  • I bought an Octatrack some months ago, used it for a song and a half, and stopped using it.
  • I brought it to a recent synth fest and realized that I didn't know how to use it anymore
  • I vowed that I'd make songs with the Octatrack for a month or so
  • My partner is playing a JRPG called Atelier Meruru
  • Octatrack allows you to sample things

This piece is in that weird middle state where things are just kind of weird and dull. When you're new, you create all kinds of crazy stuff and it's funny and stupid and interesting. When you've got experience, you create things that have progression and interest and emotion. I've not yet kept the age of innocence nor advanced to the state of wisdom yet.

Oh yeah, the Octatrack is a pretty cool machine. But it's super powerful, and it's pretty difficult to learn as a consequence.
