Do you have passions?
Hello to all of you: :0)
I hope you are well. I've been wanting to write here on ReadCash for days. To blog a little bit about my music projects, and share other things too. I'm very busy right now, and my days are very full. Intense even, I would say! I'll have the opportunity to explain it all to you in a few days. Well, I hope so. :0))
Do you have passions?
We all have one or more passions in life. Although I know people who, when I asked them what their passion was, told me they didn't have one. Mystery.. Many here have a passion for writing, for example. Others read. I like reading a lot, too. I read mostly science fiction books and comics. But let's come to the subject.
My first passion is obviously Music. It goes back to my childhood. I have written a few articles on this subject in the past. About how I discovered this magic world! About how I started to make some, to compose , and play, alone or with bands. And since then, throughout my life, it has never left me. On the contrary. And each day that passes is a discovery and a wonder.
I am also a long time gamer. The first video game I played was Pong on a Thomson console at the end of the 70's, then came Space Invaders, Galaga, etc.. on arcade terminals in "cafés", accompanied by my father. Until today, I never stopped playing video games. I still play a lot when I have time. Or because I need to. Yes, need! Do you know a better antidepressant? A better way to put all the worries of everyday life in a drawer? Just like that, instantly?
Another passion, and right now I'm in the middle of it (when I have some time), retro gaming of course, but also everything related to old computers. These old dinosaurs that have forged the history of computing. Don't you miss MSDOS? Or even CP/M?
My first operating system was CP/M. An operating system created in 1974 by Gary Kildall, the founder of Digital Research. An engineer who left his mark on the history of computing. The passion for computers seized me when I bought an Amstrad CPC 6128. A second hand. He came with some games and software, but the most fantastic thing, he booted up instantly on Basic. And that way I discovered the fascinating world of computing. It was another call to creativity.
This publication is mainly to announce that I will be blogging about these topics as well, outside my musical universe. A first introduction. Although everything is related after all, since some of my sounds have been downloaded thousands of times in the last years. Since 2018, when I started producing sound for independent developers. I'm also to launch a couple of tracks on streaming platforms before the end of the year. I will blog about it soon. And about BitcoinCash, CashRain and the Music Community I've launched. Feel free to join!
Girls, guys. Even if you don't see me over your profile, I come read some of you regularly. See you soon again! Thanks for your support! :0)
So, do you have passions?
For music, check this one, mainly: http://solarphasing.com/some-music/
I find it hard to say I have passions. I rather call them interests, which I have many, and once I dive into it they can change into something close to an obsession but one that can fade away from one moment to the next.
