Hey, I'm a person. Oh, you're a person too? Well isn't that lovely? We have so much in common; the world is full of surprises and coincidences, isn't it? So, this is my first post and I hope it's not the worst first you've wasted time reading. Lots of ground to cover here. Well, not really. But a bit, and a bit is more than nothing (and less than a lot).
I have an unquenchable taste for all things electronic (especially those lovely battery powered sexual devices). Music would fall under that category, and from what I've gathered much of the chaps on these here boards would appear to share such an interest. I work in a record store and listen to records all day at work, and then come home and listen to records all night (only problem is I don't get paid for the latter). So, where was I? Ah, yes. I have a rather diverse knowledge of music recordings, but know next to nothing when it comes to the act of making it and the theory behind it and the abstract aspects of sound synthesis. I have a Korg MS-2000 and a Roland SP-404 (also a couple of n00bish pre-patched Casio keyboards) and fiddle about a bunch on them but find that, though my fingers have grown nimbler and I've developed a bit of an instinct for turning which nobs to get certain desired effects, I haven't expanded my knowledge of aforementioned abstracts.
So a couple questions for you humanoids whom, as I previously established, share so much commonalities with yours truly. Which texts (be them formal or informal; textbooks or essays or biographies) would you recommend a fresh and green, young and sexy chap such as myself delve into in order to understand such foundational yet intangible aspects of music? Also which instruments should such an sonically inexperienced and innocent little babe begin their auditory journeys with? What are the essentials for a good musical foundation? Answer me this, please, or I'm afraid despair and confusion shall eat away at my soul until I am but the crumbs left over from a freshly devoured man.
Also, due to my masochistic nature, I am going to list a few key influences (in the field of electronic music) and put myself out there for deep criticism, and hopefully for some more individually catered advice, they are:
(Noah Lennox, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jarre, Tomita, Eno, Dntel, Gary Numan, Aphex Twin, LFO, Basement Jaxx, The Field, Broadcast)
If you read this, thanks for your time. If you didn't, go die. ("Don't hate, self annihilate")
