A Hobby

Hi Blogheads.

Today I'm going to write about one of my favourite hobbies - making music. I started making music when I taught myself to ´play guitar aged 12 or 13. I used to write poetry and once I could play a couple of chords I started writing songs. A couple of years later I bought a synth and learnt to play a bit of keyboard. I joined my first band at about 16 but we only ever played live once. Aged 17 I started a punk/new/wave band with some friends and I've been making music ever since. I played in bands up untill about 1993. When I moved to Chile in 1998 I started experimenting making electronic music using different computer software. first one called cubase and then Ableton Live. I don't write as my lyrics as I used to and nowadays most of my creations are instrumental. I don't really know what genre my music could be described as either. Most of the time it's just weird. Often it has a House or Hip-Hop feel but I just play around with whatever comes out and improvise. I also make little videos to go along with my tunes. Mainly random stuff I've filmed that I play around with in Imovie.
Here are some recent creations:
