Hi. I've been messing around with organs, keyboard, synths and electronics since my teens. My dad was a bassist in a band so I was lucky enough to inherit some bargains from his band mates. I took up formal keyboard lessons and theory in my 40's with my kids, and did pretty well with exams despite performance anxiety (through sheer grit tbh). Since retiring, I've ventured into studying music arrangement, production and modular and am starting to build modules. I discovered a public jamming session which I go to weekly with my microfreak and tracker in a backpack, which has allowed me to perform out loud but with the comfort blanket of others. Last year I committed my favourite classical pieces to memory so I could play on station pianos etc. to build confidence in the knowledge that no one can hear me very well :-)

Keys/synths (dabbling in drums)

Someone said it sounded like Orb. I really wish they had added 'ital' at the end. :-/

I've grafted for 40 years. Time for sidelined hobbies now I think.
