What, exactly, does it spell?

Music is one of the most worthwhile endeavors humanity has ever devised/discovered. If you're honest with yourself, making music is a never-ending process of discovery and self-improvement. As I get older, one of the most humbling (and inspiring) things is seeing younger people come along with a fully-formed sonic vision. As a painfully shy kid, playing the bass helped me create a context in which I could learn to relate more comfortably in social situations.

Because as a child I survived the vacuum cleaner sound of a Bontempi home organ whilst playing Oh Suzanna and La Cucaracha and boring Christmas carols and I always dreamt of having loads of cool synthesizers (but they were too expensive)!

I make music because I like to play with my toys, and music (or at least noise) is the result of playing
with a lot of them. It's the same with art and whatnot, photoshop, houdini, 3D Coat etc, are all just
toys for me, though pretty pictures come out of those rather than sound. If I have any ambitions at
all for any of it, it would be to be able to combine it all together in an effort to express some worthwhile
and meaningful idea with it. So far though, I've had nothing I have overly wanted to say.

Houdini? You see Houdini as a toy? I assume you are using Apprentice? Seems a weird choice over something like Blender.

I love houdini, I've been using it off and on for 20 yrs.

*Houdini is the pinnacle of 3D animation and whatnot as far as I'm concerned,
always has been. Blender is great as well and of course free, I've been using
Blender for just as long.

Music?

I appear to collect heavy expensive objects, with odd names, that require plugging in.

I've been using 3DS Max since 1998. I remember trying to install Houdini once, at least 20 years ago, but I couldn't manage to get it working. These days it looks a lot more user-friendly but I don't have the time, or feel the need, to get into it.

Blender is great as well and of course free, I've been using Blender for just as long.

I gave it a go about 20 years ago, even bought an expensive tutorial book from them, but the UI and workflow wasn't there so I gave up after a while. Lately, though, I've been getting back into it in a serious effort to learn it properly. It's come a long, long way and I am trying to get them to start using it at work instead of Cinema 4D (which I don't like much).

If you want something just to make art with, you should look at one of the terrain generators. Bryce is still around but Vue these days is Amazing, as is Terragen. There's another I looked at recently but it's name escapes me. For pure creative bliss, I really enjoy doing landscapes.

I always liked Max and have used it a lot for others. Houdini is cool, though it's not for everyone.
Programmer types should take to it readily as it's procedural, which is exactly what's so great
about it. It's also pretty technical to use, which is why many don't like it.

Blender can do the job and it's definitely a smart way to go for commercial work, a lot
of stuff is being done with it these days because it's both free and capable.

Landscapes are fun definitely, lately, I tend to paint them mostly, but I do enjoy the 3D
terrain thing and am familiar with all of those programs, for likely as long as yourself seems like

Not a big fan of C4D either ( sry OP, I know C4D is your bag

) Vue is cool, but IIRC it takes for
f*ing ever to render. I have no patience for that any more.

TBH, I haven't done much in the way of art in some time, but I am getting the itch a bit
and I have a couple paintings that have been waiting to be finished for a few years.
Hopefully, I will actually do that and maybe incorporate them into some music as well.

I have no idea.. I have so little time to make music, and when I do I just stare at the screen for a moment and start playing something from Steam. My music has died.

Because I enjoy just jamming, and the act of creation, and the discoveries that happen with synthesis (and somewhat with improv and composition), and the gradual process of increasing mastery. It's emotionally, sometimes intellectually, sometimes physically engaging.

And I feel like the music I've been making for the past couple of years is a kind of subgenre not many others are doing, and I like it. It took me years to get to where I consistently found my own music as satisfying (or more) to listen to than other peoples', but I got here and I'm not going to stop now.

So many questions why...
and now this question to deal with...

Why do nails and hair keep growing... just when hair looks good, it grows... nails need cutting...

YET the important thing like teeth don't grow back... why?

Why life...
so many Why's....

I make music as distraction from foolish thinking...

Why Do You Create Music ?
