I have to, no really I am always humming something or hitting something in a beat,
and then there is the feeling when you finally make something thats just rock your boat.
I did stop for a cople of years, but there was always something missing in my life(shess now I sound like a wierdo), and I never thought about letting others hear what i did until now.......

It's what I do--composing, that is. It's what I've done since I was three (I thought that everyone thought in terms of music). I've explored other areas of interest--mathematics, philosophy, sculpture, literature, theoretical physics, history, architecture--but always end up just incorporating my discoveries in those areas into my musical language.
And it's composition that interests me, not performance. I performed most of my life as an instrumentalist and singer, but only to get a sense of performance exigencies, not for the thrill of it. Composition is what thrills me, particularly the thinking part of it.
I remember when I first read Hesse's Das Glasperlenspiel (The Glass Bead Game, sometimes sold as Magister Ludi), this is it, this what music seems to mean to me and much more. Music is everything that it means to be human and alive to me--everything from the purely sensuous, to the emotional, to the intellectual, to the mystical and, to quote Jung (excuse the omitted umlaut), the "unspeakable glory" of my life.

When I was younger - before every home had a computer - I used to play guitar loudly and badly so I could annoy the hell out of my parents and neighbours. Now I've got music creation software and a CD burner I can still play loudly and badly but can annoy the hell out of a lot more people 
Next stop an on-line independent label, then iTunes, then I can annoy the hell out of the world!

A question i think i never really answerd my self..
Things i like about music making:
* Its a challange
* Its food for thought
* Its amuzing
* Its frustrating
* Its something special about sounds
* Its a Science
i dont think i can tell why i try to make music, maybe cuase its better than watching tv or playing video games
anyway its fun to have a hobby even if your not good at it
i always have been interested in instruments since i was a kid and tinkle on the piano is one of my favorite hobbys
like somebody said, i dont make music, music makes me...Its a mystical artform, spirited away!
i like painting and sculpturing aswell....
but i would need a big house and lots of money and motivation to be able to do it all..

I was hoping if I got good enough I could see Vince Neil do dope and pork babes backstage. Now THAT'S Rock 'n Roll!
But seriously - I do it it for the art.

It gives me an enjoyable life of my own outside the family.In fact ,I think it makes me appreciate them more.
I know guys that were pretty good musicians but gave it up so they could kiss their wifes asses 24 hours a day,,,not that theres anything wrong with that,,
They come over once in a while when they can get out
and I'll hand them a guitar or something and I see that gleem in their eye
but it quickly turns to frustration because they can't play it anymore
I don't think their happy..
Now if I could only make good music

I broke into Ozzy's house to rape Sharon, and met Ozzy in the hallway carrying blankets. All he said to me was "Ifyousurvivethenightwithher...I'll makeyoufuckinpancakesinthemorning...I gotta crash now andgetsomefucking sleep!"
I forwent my little 'publicity stunt' to become famous, and came back here.
