 This is sort of an aggressive song. I call the genre Techno, but I have heard people calling it a form of Drum&Bass. I never know what to call my music anyhow. On my computer I have several directories in which I save the songs I make, and most of it ends up in the Miscellaneous directory. Unless, like this song, it has a 'computery feel'. Then I put it in the Techno directory.

 Now this is Drum&Bass, no doubt about that. It has everything from the right drumloop to the right bassloop, and to top it off a whizzing synth pretending to be a fly, or something like that. Now this is the stuff i save in my Drum&Bass directory.

 And now for something completely different. A waltz... Yes indeed... After two up-tempo drum&bass pieces, I present you with a slow melody in 3/4 time. Just trying to prove to myself that I have musical skills.

  

Wise words from PeeVee

Why am I making music? A question I sometimes ask myself. I mean, I'm not a great musician, and I can usually express myself well enough by drawing. For the answer, let's go back to the time when I was twelve years old. I had just gotten hold of a music program called OctaMED. House music hitting the charts was something new, and frankly, I liked it. So I though: "I want to make that too!" And yes, indeed, ever since I've been keeping myself busy trying to create a few nice sounds. Okay, the music style changed a little - mostly techno and drum&bass - but the intention, to be able to make professional music myself, never did.

Why use a computer to make music? Well... To be true... I can't play any instruments or read music. I wanted guitar lessons, but when I was told I HAD to practice every day, I lost the will to play the guitar. And if I can make music the way I do, while being musically illiterate, why not continue this and forget about putting my energy into learning to play an instrument? Up 'till now I haven't disappointed myself yet.
Just listen, that's all you're supposed to do anyhow. :)
