Making music on computers: The fading flame of the phoenix

[DimensionX]

In the beginning... Learning something new is an exciting experience, perhaps it's what reminds us that we are still children going out into an awesome, beautiful world. There is so much to learn but at the end of the day, you do it for yourself because you enjoy it, you do it for others because you enjoy the exhilarating experience of communicating what you've learned or done. Or both. It is indubitably evident the transformational impact some of the inventors and creators of the world have made and it some (like me) seek to experience the same thing.

We are in a time where SO much has been created that when someone creates something, it takes a lot more work to not even have the same effect as when there were less people, and it’s because we are all witnesses to the many creators of our time and we seek to do the same thing because it’s what inspires us, it’s what drives us to partake in a corrupt system that is dying in the face of an awakening, thriving civilization.

I have had the blessing of meeting some truly magnificent people in my life, people that reflect the future I believe we might make it to. A place where what we create isn’t diminished in regarded to a past inventor, but appreciated in THAT moment. It is understandable that there have been some foundational creators who have left a funddamental path to seek beyond it, but I believe we are at a point where there are so many paths that it is no longer necessary to regard those people because I believe what we need is to be appreciated for what we do NOW, because I believe that is where we will find the beginning of a new era. The point is we aren’t intentionally creating in regard to someone else, sure we may have learned through them in the PAST but I think it is most important to see beyond that. It is an arrogant and even envious thing to do but I don’t think the person critiquing consciously intends that.

Personally, I have been scarred by being regarded to people in the past, it is as if my expression is devalued and unappreciated and it is what distracts me from doing something in the moment…

Remember when we were children? What if everything you did was simply cast aside by relating it to something thats already been done. Would you do that to your children? Or is your excuse that we need to be toughened and hardened? Maybe we need to stop already.

I'd like to finish the starting of this thread with a simple word and 2 definitions:

Else:

1. In addition; besides.
2. Different; instead.

Thank you.

OP: think I get what you are saying (I think, kinda, perhaps not fully) - and I say to myself "yes, but... " and the only concrete articulation I can come up with to express my reservation is - you didn't mention the frictional aspect of this thing, the fact that Yes we Are and Should Be free to pursue what makes us happy inna here and now and that we shouldn't (in best of all possible worlds) be critiqued for what is a personal statement not intended for dissection, but - the world is a brutal dialectic in and of itself where most all things, ideas, personalities inevitably bump into, crash against, rub raw on all other things, ideas, personalities... This is the process of how some things rise to the top, despite their sometimes seeming flimsiness or non-obvious remarkability. It's also compounded by the fact that things are accelerating; everything is speeding up it seems, like we're living in the moment where the direction on the curve in the graph has just now turned vertical, and things will never be the same again. Everything's up in the air. Nothing means quite what it used to and will resemble what we know less and less in the future.

Tl;dr - make your own rules but stick to 'em because it's all up for grabs now, regardless of how we feel about it.
