Just a hobbyist, who sometimes has a lot of extra time on his hands, and sometimes some extra cash. I have no normal American man toys, like a boat, a fast car, fishing gear, hunting gear, etc. I am a bit of a hoarder. The good news is that what a horde is rather small in terms of storage size. I hoard sounds. These include presets and samples I purchased for my various musical gear, as well as sounds and samples I create myself. I am less interested in music composition than I am in sound design and experimentation, which very occasionally result in a composition I consider worth listening to more than once. It is the process of music and sound exploration that excites me. In terms of listening to great productions and Compositions, there are so many out there who are much better than I will ever be at putting the finishing touches on great songs.
