Little Hardware Update

Recently pointed my head back to hardware and I just got myself a couple of Korgs... It's funny coz if you see my HW live set now, it looks like Korg's sponsoring me (I wish right?). Moving on, I got a Korg EMX and an ESX along with a Kaossilator, which I plan to use with my Kaoss Pad 3. All Korg products... wow. hehe

The EMX is a music production machine with 5 part synth and 9 part drums whereas the ESX is a music production sampler. The Kaossilator is a fun little piece of equipment, which a lot of people see as a toy but I'm sure I could find some nice use for it for the live setting.

Anyway, I'm hoping it'll jumpstart (it's working actually) my passion back for live regardless of venue, etc. I just want to play these days and get the music out again. Hopefully everyone can visit one time and say hi.

God bless and that's it for the short update...

bored...

Having bought my guitar last December, I feel like I got bored now... Well, not entirely. There was something bout the search that kept me going for the guitars I've collected but as everything changes, my attention is now towards drum machines and synthesizers (once again). I didn't see the value in 'em "resalewise" which unfortunately is true compared to nicer guitars which can fetch almost the same, a little lower or possibly higher even after so many yrs. With electronic music gear, a few yrs down the line, it's old and dated and the producers are after what's new... that's why I love guitars. It's been the same since forever.

Anyway, I wanna get myself an Elektron Machinedrum and an Elektron Monomachine. I dunno but I i suddenly wanted those two so bad that I'm now looking around what's left of my gear and selling what I could coz those two are awfully expensive.

I don't want to go into detail here but I feel somehow, I lost the "fun" in music-making. I dunno why. I feel that I need to be a kid again and enjoy music for the sole of enjoying it and not thinking about other things like releasing material, playing out, etc. At this point, I feel like those two pieces would bring me back to being a kid waiting for his toys to arrive. It may take a while but I'm hoping it'll be sooner. I'm pretty excited if ever I do get them. All I know now is I have to be patient, wait, and attend to more important matters. I'm just looking forward to playing again like I used to, and fiddling with knobs and buttons with my new toys in front of me and all the time in the world.
