KVR Audio

I used to listen to all the pop/rock stuff I had and knew that without a guitar I was, well, stuffed

Then I bought two albums: 'Come On Die Young' by Mogwai and The For Carnation's 'The For Carnation'. I suddenly realised that music could be emotional and visceral without being glossy and 'obvious' [I'm not attacking pop, I LOVE IT] - and immediately started creating soundscapes on my PC. Of course KvR has been the reason I kept going instead of taking up another hobby too

So what's your story? When did you realise that you could indeed be the musician you always considered impossible to be??

The first time I laid hands on a tracker (whacker tracker or pro tracker, don't remember, too long ago).

When I was about 6, I once had to leave class for a very urgent toilet call. The toilets were very far, down endless stairs, over a big yard...

I didn't make it.

And... there was no toilet paper in any of the toilets.

So... I just went back to class. And as I sat down there came this sound out of my burdened pants.

It sounded just like Paradise By The Dasboard Light! Worse thing was, it smelled like it too.

The classroom was quite literally a broom closet with 2 desks and 4 chairs crammed in it for the non-confessional ethics class. The other 20-ish classmates were being bored to death by some old priest. As I was being washed by my teacher

standing naked on a table in the toilets room they all came to see me, one after the other, on the pretext they had to go to the loo

So there was my first taste of fame too.

Later on I just HAD to get a guitar as it was the only thing that might be loud enough to get that horrid sound out of my head. It was then that I discovered the effect of loud guitar amps on the human bowels...

I then spent 10 years developing a sonic cannon that would turn my former classmates into fountains of poo! Mu ha haha...

not sure about how you would direct it as a beam but if you go low enough in bass freq yes you can cause bowels to open.

I can only keep trying.... Maybe next week I'll play something right. After 42 years of practice it might happen, you never know.

When I discovered that I could play something on the piano without staring at some kind of paper and the result wouldn't be totally crap.

When did you first realise that you could create music?
