I’ve been making electronic music since around 1985. I was 12 years old, and I rocked out with with a Radio Shack Moog knock-off, a TR-505 drum machine, and a (borrowed) Ensoniq ESQ-1. All these years later, the gear has changed but I’m still playing around with the same kinds of melodies. Also, I run sampleswap.org, a resource for free samples.
