Me and a mate were at school, listening to Acid House records, playing about with the school music department's RX17 drum machine and SH101 as used by A Guy Called Gerald, we soon found out! Knocked up some stuff on a four track, used the beeper on a ZX Spectrum for one track

Those were the days!

I realized it when I had begun to take piano lessons when I was 8. I started to improvise and compose little pieces which gave me a lot of joy. They weren't brillant at all. Just great fun to me an my family.

2 minutes ago! Woohoo! After 3 years I finally got a sequenced synth line out of this crappy ac97 laptop soundcard.

I make that a latency of 94,608,000,000 msecs!

Muhahaahahaha! My mobile studio rocks!

Sounds like a Front 242 show I went to years ago where they had outdoor speakers inside a small no seats place with racks to the ceiling...the bass was like an electric ocean current...

umm nice question...

when I was around 15 years old (that is, 12 years ago) I realised I invented songs. I mean I was walking by the street and literally a new song was developed in my mind.

at the time I only had a casio keyboard and some guitar effects of my brother's and then I wrote and created around 10 songs or so. but bored cos I had no money to buy a decent instrument I let it be.

Then I wrote short stories.

but I was frustrated cos my real aspiration was to be able to make those melodies that wandered in my brain real. and then I discovered the advanced musical software. I didn't know that even existed.

so I gathered info and bought a soft sequencer and started my real pleasure in life. During the first week I had already wrote my first song. I discovered then I was able to create songs. good or bad, that's not for me to tell. a year and a half later I've created almost 80 songs. and even more important, I've recreated myself. I'm not frustrated anymore.

Similar experience for me. I have a lot of music playing in my head. Not voices just music OK! If I didn't try to realize them I would probably go mad or madder at least.

As a child I was taught a bit of piano and music theory. And I could play a bit, I even played organ in a band in the late 60s. Only covers.

A few years ago I got a very basic sequencer, and decided to apply my old theory about melody and harmony and... HOLY SHIT!

IT WORKS!

Never stopped since then.

I first discovered I could create music when I was 11 and got my first guitar. I tried the violin before that, but failed miserably. My mum sent me outside to practice, I screeched the notes so bad. But the guitar, ah there's a fine instrument if ever there was one.

about 5 years ago on the bus going to work at the bakery I wrote a song then had to dive of to buy a pen and notebook to write it down before I forgot it. Whent they come along now they still tend to suprise me but at least I'm better prepared now (dictaphone!)

When I was 5 years old and my Dad sat me in front of the piano. OK, it was only 8 bars long and used 6 discrete notes from the scale of A minor, but wasn't bad for a 5 year old!

Well if you look at my music,you'll ralize that the prob is that I havent realized that I cant creat music, but I'm tryin anyway...

well, when I look at all those humble replies here in this thread...

I mean - that's just not my way - for me it came slowly but surely - but it's definetely there now

I can say I am a musician and I can make music - in fact my results are pretty close to what I am trying to achieve - I have the choice - it's up to me to decide what my music should sound like today - and that makes me really glad - it took me about fifteen thorny years of learning to be where I am now and though I am still so far away from being perfect (and I will never be) I can't be arsed to belittle my own musicianship

When did you first realise that you could create music?
